Last night was the big event for Sam at the Wonder Ballroom. It went off without a hitch. Volunteers were in abundance.
I love movies. Above is a movie that was produced about Sam's vision for PDX. It was premiered last night. I love the quote... what would our communities looks like if we "work(ed) as if we are in the early days of a better nation?" Hmmmmm. Go ahead and try, okay?
For those of you who don't live in Portland... Sam is feeding his rooster in the beginning AND he lives within the city limits. And, yes it is not uncommon for people in suits to ride their bikes. One more thing.. Portland is just as cool as the video shows. Come visit and we can volunteer together!
When I was at Hands On Baltimore, some college students made an orientation video for us to show prospective volunteers how fun it is to volunteer. The number of volunteers who left our orientation and then volunteered at a project skyrocketed.
There is much power in moving pictures.
Total volunteer hours as of 2/27/08: 40.25

Emily, I'm so enjoying reading your stories of service and adventure! Thanks for sharing your journey. PS, if I lived in Portland, I'd vote for Sam - great video and message.
