Jules of Morocco is closing its Multnomah
Village store after 16 years
Olson told The Post.
“They used to come
in monthly, check-in,
and were the most
down-to-earth folks.”
Trilley Otten had
a stroke five years
ago and Gene has
been taking care of
her since. Olson said
it would be inevita-
ble that the building
would be sold.
“The new owners
will be most likely
upgrading the build-
ing to meet seismic
codes,” Olson said.
Olson lived in Ra-
bat, Morocco, from
1983 to 2006. Her fac-
tory was located in
Marrakech. She said
at one time, Olson

The Hillsdale Community Founda-

Michael Reunert, board chair, an-
nounced a $1,000 grant went to
Hopewell House, which provides
compassionate, competent care for
hospice patients and their families.
Don Baack, who represents the
Hillsdale Neighborhood Association,
received $470 for replacement of the
gateway entry sign at Southwest Ver-
mont Street and Bertha Boulevard.
The Southwest Neighborhoods,
Inc. Schools Committee was awarded
$550 for a fall speak-up session that
will help under-served families ad-
dress education equity issues in local
schools.
Foundation secretary Rick Seifert
said that the Hillsdale Business and
Professional Association requested
support for continued maintenance of
street banners along Capitol Highway
in the town center for $1,000.
“The foundation will also contribute
$1,500 to the maintenance, replanting,
and watering of plants along Capitol
Highway in the town center,” he said.
“The money for the grants was
raised primarily from the foundation’s
annual book sale,” said Seifert.
The annual book sale will be held
on Sunday, July 22, from 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. at the Watershed Building at
Bertha Court and Capitol Highway.
Donated books should be dropped
off at the Hillsdale Farmers Market
on July 8 and 15.
The community foundation, a
volunteer-lead effort, is a 501(c) 3 non-
profit whose mission is the revitaliza-
tion of the Hillsdale Town Center and
the bettering of the neighborhood as
a whole.
