Celebrate the 4th by sharing with Oregon troops overseas
The Multnomah Dems, in coordination with the DPO, NW Portland Ministries, and the good folks at Gallagher Plaza are gathering goods and goodies to send to Oregonians serving abroad.
If you're having a 4th of July party, have your guests bring an item or 2. If you're attending a party, pass this on to your host. What to bring -- new or used CDs, magazines, paperback books. Also hard candy, toothbrushes and personal hygiene items are handed out to the local children. Use your IMAGINATION! Nothing is discarded: everything is used. Do not include items that will melt or spoil in the 7 to 10 days it takes to get to the soldiers.
Even if you're not going to a party, please donate an item or two... Items can be dropped off at the Mult Dems office, 3127 NE 67th (call first for hours 503-312-1970)
Other options for Pick up/drop off of items and further information: KC at chair@multdems.org

And on Saturday June 27 Presenting Your Professional Self
A hands-on compendium to help navigate today’s job search
This hands-on program presents the basics of current resumé development styles, networking, and job search techniques.
Participants will have an opportunity to:
· Create a professional introduction, an “elevator speech” that will enable others to have a clear vision of who you are professionally.
· Develop and/or refine your resumé to meet the expectations of today’s employers
· Identify often overlooked networking opportunities
· Speak confidently about what you can bring to your next employer
Participants should bring a hard-copy of their updated resume, a pad or notebook, and a smile to the workshop.
Whether you are re-entering the workforce, are a recent graduate, were recently down-sized, or maybe you are just making sure you are ready if a new opportunity comes your way, plan to re-energize your job search and have some fun in the process.
