Back to Back Board Members (really) @RedCrossCasc NW Oregon Board Chair Darrell Fuller, and Board Member Dani Newcomb with PGE are tabling back to back at the same Wildfire Preparedness Open House at Marion County Fire District 1.
I was honored to represent the @RedCrossCasc Board at Saturday’s recognition of local high school students who are @RedCross volunteers and club leaders. A great group of emerging humanitarians.
@SouthwestAir To their credit, @SouthwestAir did get me a room, food vouchers and transport to/from hotel. Thanks. Unsure why staff at the airport announced over PA system no hotel or food vouchers (which is why I posted).
@SouthwestAir flight canceled when crew timed out (Midway to Portland). Waited on the plane for over an hour before they cut us loose. No lodging. Everything in the airport is closed. Booked on 5:30 AM flight tomorrow morning. Not a single word about refunds or compensation.
@Keizertimes Serious questions: what is “democratically progressive”? Is that their term and you reused it since it’s self-descriptive, or is it a new term in the AP Stylebook?
Former OR Sen Pres Gene Derfler passed this morning. WW2 Naval Aviator. Business Owner. Community Leader. State Rep. State Sen. Sen GOP Leader. Sen Pres. He never slowed down — carving & painting life size and lifelike fish, including a Steelhead he carved for me at 99-years-old.
I received an extraordinary gift from a friend and colleague (Dan Jarman), who volunteered countless hours in a @RedCrossCasc@RedCross vest during a different time. This is his Andrews AFB Red Cross pin. He earned it. But I will wear it with pride.
@wubearcats@WillametteAlum@ORSecretaryRead Secretary of State Tobias Read (CLA’97) and Red Cross Board Chair Darrell Fuller (CLA’88) donating blood at the Oregon State Capitol today. This is the second annual Capitol Blood Drive.
@ORSecretaryRead@electjmanning and @IamTravisNelson are kicking off the 2nd annual Capitol blood drive. Sen. Kate Lieber, Eugene City Councilor Matt Keating and Keizer City Councilor Sorida Cross are on the list — and we still have some open spots. #orleg#orpol
