“Right now the society is funding $2.9 mil

11 a.m. May 19 at the Rose Quarter Gammons.
The annual event raises money for the Nation

promotes understanding and respect regardless
of the differences that might separate people—
“religion, race, culture, age, sexual orientation
or otherwise.”
Coffee, juice, fruit and bagels will be served
during registration at 9:30, and a warm-up exer
cises will follow at 10:45. Walkers then will head
over the Steel Bridge, through downtown Port

3,000 surveys were mailed to community agen
cies and advocacy groups for distribution to
other crime victims.
“People who have been victimized by
crime have a unique understanding of what
they and their families needed to make it
through a life-changing ordeal,” research asso
ciate Debra Elliott said. “Our hope with this
survey is to hear from as many victims as pos
sible to document their ideas about how to
improve Oregon’s response to future victims
o f violent crimes.”
Surveys are due July 31. Results from the final
needs assessment report will be released by the
Oregon attorney general’s office in early 2003.
