The unfortunate fact about most truisms is that they're used so much that they sound disingenuous when pronounced. For example: your presence is a great gift. It might sound trite, but we really, really mean it. Many of you are traveling from a long way away during a time it's not great to travel and to a place with not so great winter weather.
Our friends have inspired in the past with charitable donations in the name of the celebrated party. If you are inclined to buy a gift, we want to encourage you to consider a donation to two great Portland organizations that we believe in strongly.
Quest Center is a nonprofit integrative health center that serves people who are low income living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, mental health disorders and chemical addiction. It's a great community-based organization. Mandi works there and believes passionately in its mission.
Growing Gardens is a wonderful Portland nonprofit that addresses hunger issues by teaching and empowering low income people to grow their own food.
Lastly, if you want to purchase a gift, we are not above material desires. We've created gift registries at Kitchen Kaboodle, Crate and Barrel & REI.
