(Photos by Charles Patterson) G i Ù j ÌA by Allen Jones REVELATION 78 - SO BE IT * * * It was billed as Revelation 78, so said the executives o f the elegant downtown Portland Plaza Condominiums last Wednesday night. The entire evening was geared to show the prospective buyer exactly what condominium living is all about — and boy was I impressed! The prices range from $67,000 to $115,000 with a ten percent increase on September 1st. From the valet parking we were escorted to the elevator and were greeted on the top floor by one o f six guides who gave us a tour from one through six o f the condos on the floor. Every unit in the building has a view and TV monitor, regardless o f where you live. We were guided through the party rooms, rec room, exercise room and eventually onto the patio, where a smorgasborg o f food and beverages were available — from black and green caviar to Remy M artin cognac. The guests included Governor Bob Straub, Stan Wiley, Com missioners Jordar, Schwab, and McCready, and many more notables. The highlight o f the evening was sitting up front and being entertained by the Duke Ellington Band, headed up by his brother Mercer Ellington, plus one of the greatest pianists o f all time George Shearing! Need 1 say more? GENEVA'S 18TH YEAR AND GOING STRONG * * Paul and Geneva Knauls recently celebrated their sixteenth year in business. Geneva’s Cocktail Lounge is unquestionably the most noted and probably the most successful Black-owned lounge in the Northwest. Having successfully operated two lounges prior to opening Geneva’ s (the Cotton Club and Paul’ s) it’ s no wonder Geneva’s has enjoyed its continued growth over the past eight years. Its tasteful decor, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service makes Geneva's a must on your entertainment list. Sunday afternoon offered everyone who came in the door an afternoon o f “ live” musical enjoyment! Featuring George Lawson on saxaphone, Benny Wilson on organ, Raymond Torrance on guitar, and Anthony Nolan and Dale Smith on drums. In all, it was a very enjoyable evening. See you next year!!

This year the Portland YW C A has scheduled an entirely new session just for senior citizens, adult women and men age 55 and older. From August 9th to 11th, the seniors can have the time o f their life at Westwind, the 700 acre YW CA camp at the edge o f the Pacific. P reregistration is necessary and openings are available to participate. Special arrangements are being made at camp to more adequately accommodate the seniors. They w ill travel from the Portland YW C A by bus to the Salmon River Landing. Here they w ill be met with boats and ferried across the river. A tractor- drawn trailer w ill take the group from the water’ s edge across the deep sand to Wilson Lodge. Participants w ill be housed in cabins and meals w ill be served in the dining room. The schedule o f activities w ill be flexible to allow plenty o f time for exploring the beaches and forest, fish in g , v is itin g w ith others. Traditional camp activities w ill be offered including arts and crafts, games, ocean dipping, horseback riding, cookouts, etc. A nurse w ill be available at camp at all times and a physician w ill be on call in Lincoln City. Participants receive a complete list o f articles to bring for camp; they are sent after registration. No fancy equipment is needed. Since 1936, young people have had never-to-be-forgotten vacations at W estwind on some o f the most beautiful land on the Uregon coast. Westwind is located 90 miles from Portland, just north o f Lincoln City and w ithin the protected Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. The camp has acres o f beaches, woods, meadows, a hidden lake, rain forests and mountain streams. Tiny crabs and ghost shrim p th riv e in the estuary and salmon use it on their return to spawning grounds. The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association for attaining standards in a d m ini stra tio n , program , personnel, facilities, health, safety, sanitation and transportation. Further inform ation on the special senior camping session is available at the Downtown YWCA.
