Mark your calendars for one of Port- land's biggest see and be seen events! The 24th Annual Cap Art Auction is set for April 27, 2013. www.CapArtAuction.org Submissions for Community can be sent to editor@JustOut.com Restaurants, coffee shops, carts, bars and bakeries around the state will donate a generous percentage of their day’s pro- ceeds to Basic Rights Oregon on June 21. “This is one of the most fun – and easy – fund raisers we have all year,” said Basic Rights Oregon’s development Director Juan Martinez. “How often do you get to take a stand for equality simply by going out for coffee, brunch, drinks, dinner or dessert?” Last year, nearly 100 restaurants state-wide took part in Bites for Rights, including several in Southern Oregon, the coast and the Central Willamette Valley. A long list of Portland establishments take part each year, from restaurants like Byways Café, The Gilt Club and Mother’s Bistro, to des- sert spots like Cupcake Jones, bars like the Davis Street Tavern, and food carts like Big Ass Sandwiches. www.basicrights.org (HEALTH) Schools will be a bit safer starting July 1, 2012 for kids.
