Exodus Presents BAMM In Concert
by Caroline M iller
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 fo r 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 Tom and Rosalie
Booth, who direct the House o f Exo­
dus, an excellent social service
agenvy in the Albina neighborhood.
M r. and Mrs. Booth have proposed
to work with youth that most agen­
cies consider to be unemployable.
They w ant to put these young
people to w ork 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 rta n t, I have un­
dertaken an e ffo rt 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 p lo ym e n t P ro ­
gram by p e rfo rm in g in a benefit
co n ce rt. O bo A d d y and his jazz
group, Kukrudu, w ill be performing
w ith the comedy group, Bamm, on
August 25th, at the Jefferson High
School A uditorium .
1 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 s ic ia n ’ s u n io n and
A F T R A fo r allow ing their p a rtic i­
p a tio n . I am also very pleased to
acknowledge the support o f several
