Community Check-In: Alberta Main Street Progress Report
As Alberta Main Street approaches the end of year one, it’s time to check in. A team of experts will be in Portland June 21 – 23 in what the National Main Street program calls a Resource Team Visit. The visit will conclude with a public presentation on Thursday, June 23, 2011.
The Resource Team will conduct a series of focus groups and interviews, listening to community stakeholder’s comments on the program’s progress. The team has two jobs:
- Work to develop general and specific recommendations for action in a written report. The team’s report will take approximately 8 weeks to complete and is designed to help us develop a 12-24 month implementation strategy.
- Make a candid assessment of the opportunities and issues affecting the Alberta Main Street program through an intensive listening process while in the community.
On Thursday June 23 at 6:30PM, the resource team will preview their findings at a public presentation. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!

St. Andrew Legal Clinic to Host 11th Annual Race for Justice Saturday, June 25, 2011
For eleven years St. Andrew Legal Clinic has hosted a family-friendly 5K fundraiser in NE Portland. This year the Race for Justice will be held Saturday, June 25, 2011, beginning and ending at the Madeleine Parish. Kids’ Fun Run starts at 9:15 am, and the 5K starts at 10:15 am. A pizza party will be held after the Race and prizes will be awarded for fastest attorney and non-attorney runners, largest team and best pledge-raisers. In 11 years, the Race has raised more than $1,000,000 to help the clinic provide low-cost legal services for families in need.
This year’s Race is expected to attract more than 700 participants. Hundreds of Portland area lawyers, judges, administrators, volunteers, fans, and kids of all ages will come together to compete for bragging rights and help raise money to keep the Clinic operating. Prizes will include wine and cheese parties, special weekend getaway packages; and one winning team will walk away with the coveted Bronze Sneaker.
Entry fees and sponsorship of the Race help to raise critically needed funds to support the low-cost services offered by the Clinic. To register for the race, go to: www.salcgroup.org and click on Race for Justice.
St. Andrew Legal Clinic is a community-based non-profit agency that provides sliding scale family law services to low income families. For 32 years, SALC has helped provide security for children, support to women in crisis, and access to justice for the working poor. The Community Development Law Center, a program of SALC, provides low cost legal services to non-profits statewide. Together, both programs help Oregon families.
