Sisters Conclave includes public events
that both curious and seasoned Sisters sup
porters alike can enjoy.
The Conclave 2011 Opening Ceremonies
take place Monday, August 15 from 4:30 to
6:30 p.m. at the Rose Garden at Peninsula
Park (corner o f N. Albina and N. Ains
worth), and is free and open to the public.
After the workshop sessions, Sisters from
around the world— and as far away as Edin
burgh, Scotland— re-emerge for a kamikaze
public ritual at Pioneer Courthouse Square
Thursday, August 18 at 7 p.m. The ritual, to
be created during Thursday’s final private
workshop, is intended to invoke the spirit o f
Portland and to bless the community the
Sisters serve.
The Sisters have always put the “fun” in
fundraising, and Friday night gives them the
opportunity to show outside houses and
missions how they rock ‘n raise here in
Stumptown. The Fez Ballroom (316 SW
11th Ave.) hosts “Makin It Better” August
19, a collaboration between trans and queer
youth from the Sexual and Gender Minority
Youth Resource Center (SM Y RC ), Salem’s
Rainbow Youth Alliance and Outside In
during a benefit performance extravaganza
organized by Sister Ohna Fuckin’ Tirade.

To cap things off, Saturday, August 20
brings the Portland Sisters’ Sixth Anniver
sary Party to C C Slaughters. This swanky
event entails a mere $3 suggested donation,
the proceeds o f which go directly into the
Sisters’ Grant Fund.
In all, Moore and Company count on
making a big splash during the weeklong
sojourn.
“It will be interesting to see how the com
munity reacts,” Moore says. “Our growth
here has been slow but steady, but now there’s
going to be this mass. There’s gonna be so
much white face, it’ll be a snowstorm.” It]
