This month's free movie features "One flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". A movie that show cases many of the problems that mental institutions used to struggle with during the 1950's and 1960's. This movie is a tragic comedy that is both painful, honest, and important. The movie will be introduced by Dr. Dan Smith, who is a Clinical Psychologist at Oregon State Hospital, where much of this movie was filmed. Dr Dan and our friends with Empower Oregon will help lead a short conversation after the movie about what has changed and what is still needed for adequate mental health services in our communities. 6:00pm Doors open, 6:30 movie 6401 Southeast Foster Road Portland, OR 97206 SEIU Local 503 | SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION ... www. seiu 503.org |
Glad to get a newsletter going! Thanks to all for your efforts. I just found out PDC purchased (all or part?) of former car lot that was metro auto at 72nd and Foster! I am trying to contact them to find out what their plans are and to see if community has any say on what happens to that space. Park? Garden? Fountain? Hopefully not a parking lot and more empty buildings.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...so glad PDC in involved in the property. I will inquire with PDC about their plans as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking into that!
Any updates on what PDC is doing with this property?
ReplyDeletePDC has no plans as of yet. However, I'm interested in ways that we can use this property for the time-being, until they come up with the funds.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they can lease-out the property.
I'm a bit too busy too dive into this right now.
However, I know Kevin Cronin (at PDC) is a great contact. He's always very helpful with explaining PDC's projects and plans.
You may want to contact him with questions/ideas/inquiries!
Thanks!
