nwnews OREGON S LGBTO NEWSMAGAZINE ule on this year’s event. Elsewhere in Pride country, Asian Pacific- Islander Pride is making a bigger push to have their presence known at Portland Pride this year. As such, they’re looking for involve ment and leadership from the LGBTQ_Asian and Pacific Islander community to attend their twice monthly committee meetings— held first and third Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. at Leftbank (240 N. Broadway). For more information on how to volunteer, participate and make this year’s Pride a suc cess for APIP, email api.pride@gmail.com or call 503-877-9379 with questions. Oregon Leather Pride 2011 is looking for help, too. A unique fundraising campaign has been launched through the sales of a com memorative t-shirt. OLP, taking place August 5-14, is operating the t-shirt sales strictly as pre-order items, rather than ordering large quantities of shirts hoping to sell them all. “By setting this up as a pre-order, we can guarantee that you will get the size you order, reduce waste, and have it shipped directly to your home,” said Ben Brown Jr., OLP co chair, via press release. “We wanted an alter native to the usual round of fundraising ef forts, and we believe that we are offering something of value to the community.” The t-shirt logo is a white eagle wireframe image against a navy blue backdrop. Those who place their orders prior to May 17 will also receive a hand-numbered, signed OLP 2011 poster. Orders are $20 flat, including shipping.
