Exodus Presents BAMM In Concert
by Caroline M ille r
M ultnom ah County Commissioner
In my role as a C om m issioner
w o rk in g w ith local agencies, one
outstanding program came to my at­
te n tio n . A lth o u g h there were not
sufficient funds to provide for this
service through the C o u n ty, I felt
that som ething had to be done to
make it available. The service is one
proposed by T o m and Rosalie
Booth, who direct the House o f Exo­
dus, an excellent social service
agenvy in the Albina neighborhood.
M r. and M rs. Booth have proposed
to work with youth that most agen­
cies consider to be unemployable.
T h ey w ant to put these young
people to work in their own neigh­
borhoods providing services to the
elderly. This project is exciting be­
cause it deals with a population that
we often cannot serve and it helps
that population to feel that they be­
long in and contribute to the neigh­
borhood that they live in. As this
service is so im p o rtan t, I have un­
dertaken an effort to raise funds pri­
vately for this proposed program.
It is my pleasure to announce that
two excellent groups o f performers
have agreed to assist the House o f
Exodus Y o u th E m ploym en t P ro ­
gram by p e rfo rm in g in a benefit
concert. O b o A d d y and his ja zz
group, Kukrudu, will be performing
with the comedy group, Bamm, on
August 25th, at the Jefferson High
School Auditorium .
I would like to express my appre­
ciation to these artists who are do­
nating their time and talents as well
as to the m u sician ’ s union and
A F T R A for allowing their p artici­
p a tio n . I am also very pleased to
acknowledge the support o f several
other community organizations and
