  Clackamas County Sheriff's Public Safety Shooting Range 12700 SE 82nd Ave

• Description

  Next Friday is Friday the !3th! What a great a way take to spend a couple of hours Friday evening then shooting all those frustrations away from the hectic week. A great time to be had for the experienced shooters or for the person that has never held a gun before and wants to learn to shoot! Just imagine what that paper target will look like by the time you get done shooting all kinds of holes in it! Details.... Friday Jan 13, 12 from 6 to 8PM. Friday nights are women's night and price to shoot is $8 instead of $16, then you buy your targets and ammo. Ammo ...price range is $9.00 to $20.00 a box.... depending on what you shoot. Targets are a $1.00 each. If you have never shot at the range before you must watch a safety video and answer a few short questions to make sure you understand their rules. You only have to do this once! (But be sure to bring back the paper you were given after completing the test as proof so you don't have to take it again) You normally have to have a gun to shoot there, but since we are going in as a group and you do not have to have a gun. They will let you in if you are with someone that has a gun. Please let me know if you want to shoot but do not have a gun. They also have guns to rent so if you go in with someone that has a gun so you could rent your own to use if you would like to. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this month. For those that wish to talk afterwards we can get together for a bite to eat and/or something to drink. Place TBD afterwards. Please observe all safety and precautions as PDX network will not take any responsibilities for any accidents that may happen

Suzanne Westenhoefer in Portland, OR

• Friday, January 13, 2012
• Time

  8:00pm until 11:00pm

Description

What words best describe Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer? How about bold, bawdy, and just plain hilarious? Not afraid to ask tough questions that uncover the laughs underneath, Suzanne’s made a career out of telling the truth. And the truth is, life is funny. After entering the world of comedy on a dare, Suzanne has been delivering gay material in mainstream clubs to straight audiences and proudly performing within the LGBT community ever since. She became the first openly lesbian comic ever to appear on television in 1991 on an episode of Sally Jesse Raphael entitled “Breaking the Lesbian Stereotype…Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians.”
