On Thursday, May 16th, East Portland Rotary hosted our annual visit of the Portland Rose Festival Court Princesses. Each princess was escorted to lunch and their assigned seat by one of our rotary members. 
For the program, our own Bob Strader, a Royal Rosarian, served as Master of Ceremonies. Each Princess was introduced by one of her fellow court members, and then posed questions designed to reveal her background and future plans. It is amazing how each Princess already has an impressive list of talents and accomplishments which is evident in their future goals.
The meeting ended with each Princess giving a short 'infomercial' for one of many Rose Festival events.
On January 11, 2019 the Oregon Department of Justice had their first annual National Human Trafficking Awareness Day Awards Ceremony. The Rotary Clubs of Oregon were recognized for their support, activities, advocacy, education and awareness related to the great strides our communities have made these past 7 years. District 5100 Includes Salem to Clark County and the Washington/Oregon Coast to Wallowa County. The remainder of Oregon is part of District 5110. Grants Pass has been active and a former Portland Rotarian took the work East Portland has been doing to the Newport, Lincoln City and surrounding areas.
Thank you Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and her Statewide Trafficking Intervention Advisory Committee who nominated Rotary for this award. Dana Clark was honored to receive this award on behalf of the Rotary Clubs in Oregon from Officer Mike Gallagher and Liz Alston, Oregon CSEC Coordinator DHS.
On National Human Trafficking Awareness Day (January 11, 2019), over 70 people walked NE 82nd Avenue from Glisan Street to Sandy Boulevard. Historically, this portion of 82nd was known for prostitution.
