She thinks government has a critical role to play in meeting the state’s chal­ lenges. The next governor will need to transform government to facilitate the strengths of Oregon’s citizens, she says. “I believe I have the skills, the experience and the vision to be that kind of governor,” Stein wrote in the letter. The former legisla­ tor, who has a strong record on sexual minor­ ity and human rights issues, has been the county’s chair for seven years.

The eastside meetings will continue as usual. Organizers say the west side’s schools are more reserved about alternative families than those on the east side, so some of the parents decided to meet together to discuss their own issues. The new meeting is starting to reach out to more families on the west side of the metro­ politan area including Beaverton, Hillsboro and West Portland. A few families already have shown an inter­ est in participating, and organizers think more will come in time. The group welcomes parents and children at the meetings, where parents discuss pertinent topics and children meet S h a k e s p e a r e F e s t iv a l F u n d s E i g h t O r g a n iz a t io n s he Oregon Shakespeare Festival an­ nounced that $55,000 was raised last August by its Daedalus Project, a 13-year-old benefit for AIDS.
