Red Lodge Transition Services

About us:

Red Lodge Transition Services is a non-profit grass roots organization supported by volunteers who have experience working with men and women in prison.  Our primary objective is to assist Native men and women who are ready to transition from prison and jail back to community.  Creating a realistic plan for transition can be very stressful!  There are many obstacles and barriers each person, family and community must navigate through in order to be successful. Red Lodge Transition Services is working to identify barriers, and educate people about what they can do to prepare for re-entry.

Statement of Mission:

Funding is available for activities and events in support of National Women’s Health Week (NWHW). The purpose of NWHW is to empower women across the country to get healthy by taking action. The nationwide initiative, coordinated by the U.S. Health and Human Services Offices on Women’s Health (OWH), encourages women to make health a top priority and take simple steps for a longer, healthier and happier life.

Who can apply: Not-for-profit organizations, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, state and local health departments, tribal organizations, professional associations, colleges and universities. Oregon is part of Region X along with Alaska, Idaho and Washington. Region X may receive up to 8 awards, $2,500 each.

Call for Submissions:

Visual Art, Music, Film, Writing

Perceptions, a journal of the arts published by Mt. Hood Community College, is now open for submissions. The journal includes the work of established writers/artists as well as work from new talent. Our only requirement is quality.

We accept work in six genres: poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, music, visual art/photography (color and b&w), and short film.

All contributors whose work is accepted for publication will receive a contributor copy, and the top entry in each genre (as judged by a body of student editors) will receive $100. Annual reception/publication in spring. There is no entry fee.

Do you feel the questions of faith and spirituality are more important than the answers? Do you think of yourself as being on an ever changing, evolving spiritual journey? Eastminster Presbyterian Church will be facilitating two classes of Living the Questions - a video resource and curriculum that encourages a diversity of viewpoints and experiences.

The class will address such topics as "The Prophetic Jesus," "Practicing Resurrection," and "Restoring Relationships."

Greetings.  We have created a short opinion survey to help plan for improvements to our website at the Institute for Culture and Ecology (IFCAE).  IFCAE (www.ifcae.org) is a Portland, Oregon based nonprofit whose mission is to improve human and environmental conditions through applied research, education, and community improvement projects.  The IFCAE website was started 10 years ago, receives an average of 40,000 unique visits each month, and has largely been created and maintained as a volunteer activity due to a lack of unrestricted general funds.  The survey questions are yes/no and multiple choice, but each question has a field where you can also add written comments.  All responses are anonymous to us unless you reveal your identify in a comment field.&nbs

I have a big old sturdy oak rocking chair. It is a beautiful piece of furniture but I don't have the space or the need for it. I'd like to give it to a respite nursery, family shelter, sunday school, head start or similar program. Can deliver in Multnomah County. [email protected]
