Team Oregon 2010 Get Pumped Meeting!

Team Oregon 2010 Get Pumped Meeting

This meeting is for all members of Team Oregon 2010 and anyone who is interested in learning more about the effort.

Team Oregon 2010's mission is to send as many fabulous athletes as possible to the Gay Games in Cologne, Germany. The Games take place during the first week of August, 2010. Team Oregon 2010 plans to hold fundraisers and garner sponsors to help all traveling participants pay their way to the Games.

At each monthly "Get Pumped" meeting, two main things happen:

1. People interested in joining or supporting Team Oregon 2010 can learn more about us and join up!

2. Members can learn about planned activities in which they can participate. Members earn points toward their travel "scholarship" by participating in activities. Of course, this is also a great time to share new ideas.

So, be sure to check us out!

Members earn points just for attending the meeting!

The meetings are held at Flying Cat Coffee in Portland, Oregon.
The address is: 3041 SE Division, Portland, Oregon.

The meeting starts at 6:30 pm and we work VERY hard to make sure it is over by 8:00 pm.

Flying Cat is owned and operated by a member of Team Oregon 2010. Normally closed on Monday nights, the owner graciously opens her shop just for us once a month. Please bring some money to buy a cup of coffee, tea, and/or something to eat.

Thanks!

Cris Williamson Concert in Ashland

Personal note from Cris..."I’ll be doing old favorites and brand new songs from my
upcoming CD --- GiftHorse. You’ll be the very first to hear them." - Cris

From St. Clair Productions...

Touring in support of a brand new CD Gift Horse, Cris Williamson returns to Ashland, Oregon at the Unitarian Center, 4th and C Streets, Saturday, March 20, 2010 • 8PM. Her last performance here was a double-bill with Holly Near 6 years ago. We're delighted to have her back in a solo show.

Decades before indie labels were the norm, and years before women had any real access in the industry, Cris Williamson was busy changing the face of popular music. Despite being like a well-kept secret, and dwelling almost completely in the independent music world, she nonetheless had an impact worldwide. During an interview in Washington, D.C., she conceived of a national all-women's record company, which subsequently issued her now-legendary classic, The Changer and the Changed -- one of the best-selling independent releases of all time.

Cris's music was embraced and so-called "women's music" by audiences hungry for a fresh, bold sound able to match the uncharted waters of the mid-seventies. It took close to a decade for the genre to earn a critical reception, and by that time Cris's astounding vocals were earning reviews sounding as though they were penned by close relatives. Finally, the stage had been set for women, and particularly for lesbians, to write, produce, record, and issue their own material -- on their own terms.
