home away from home break
I've been itching to get down to Port Orford to check out Pete's life down there, and was astonished by what he's accomplished. Port Orford isn't your typical coastal community, it's largely under the radar of tourists and is truly one of Oregon's gems on the Pacific. Pete has a established a huge Surfrider presence there, crossing the divide between enivronmentalists and fisherman. These two parties, often known to feud, have come together for the greater good. Pete is the agent that made it happen. Thanks Pete, for knowing how to think outside the box.

Storm Drain Marking 2007
Fellow Surfriders... It is May! Sun is shining, the air is warming and a new Storm Drain Catch Basin Marking season is upon us. This is a Community Service Project sponsored by the City of Portland. The City provides all the necessary supplies to volunteers and volunteers provide the enthusiasm. Please meet us at SE Steele St & SE 50th Ave across from Woodstock Park on Tuesday May 15th at 6:30 PM The adhesive we use is affected by water so if rain is forecast 12 hours either side of the event, we will not meet. The program will be running all summer long on the third Tuesday of each month. A standard rain date will be the 4th Tuesday of each month. For the oceans, John Thompson
