With the Fall weather already creep
ing into the Pacific northwest. The
Rose City Connection already has
plans underway for its Sixth Annual
Benefit Fashion Show. According to
Barbara Taylor, one o f its founders,
that gala event will take place on the
evening o f Friday, October 6, 1989
in the main ballroom o f the D ow n
town Hilton located at the com er o f
Southwest Sixth and Salmon.
For the second consecutive year,
the Nordstrom Company will not only
co-ordinate the entire presentation,
but also will underwrite all o f the
expenses. Their very generous ges
ture means that all o f the moneys col
lected through ticket sales will be
dedicated to scholarships for our
youths. This year, the fashion show
will be the only benefit event spon
sored by the Rose City Connection.
In the past they have supplemented
their annual fashion show with
Community Team Challenges which
involved a number of interactive sports
and field events with each partici
pant being “ Sponsored” by indi
viduals from the community. The
fashion show has become such a large
event that its preparation consumes
almost all o f the free time its spon
soring group can muster.
The current event promises to be
even more dazzling than previous
years, if that is at all possible. It will
begin with the romantic music o f
The Ron Steen Trio and Dennis Sprin
ger setting the mood for a happy hour
with cocktails and complimentary
horsd’oeuvresat6pm . The fashion
show, itself, will begin at 7:30 and is
expected to end at about 8:30 pm.
This year as in the past, both male
and female models will be featured.
They will be a mix o f persons who
earn their living in that medium, stu
dents who are learning the trade and
some o f the nonprofessional talent
who get a good amount o f enjoyment
out of strutting their stuff. At times it
is going to be difficult for the casual
observer to be able to sort out "the
professionals from the amateurs
because Nordstroms does such an
excellent job in staging this elegant
even t
Tickets are on sale at Nordstroms
and the various ticket outlets through
out the city. A single will cost $15
and a double will sot only $25. They
are tax deductible for a very worthy

can American community.

will conduct a syphilis information
and education survey. The purpose
o f the survey is to determine the

by area teenagers is one o f several
tools that will be used in informing
and educating the north and north
east neighborhoods o f Portland where
this particular health problem is most
serious. From late 1986 tluough 1988,
the Multnomah County Health de
partment identified a surge in the
number o f reported cases o f syphilis
within the specified neighborhoods.
The greatest percentage occurring
among persons offcolor, especially
the African Americans.Although the
Syphilis epidemic is more prevalent
in young adults ranging in age from
the mid to late twenties, Executive
Director o f Neighborhood Health Clin

sexual activity, youths are also at
risk.

In an exclusive EBONY article written shortly before his death, U.S.
Rep. Mickey Leland tells African-Americans what they can do about
starvation in Africa, reports the October issue.
Calling for increased compassion, concern and relief for the hungry on
the part o f African-Americans, Leland advocated that Blacks begin to
identify more with Black Africa, and couageously speak out against the
abuse and inhumanity there. “ I believe that African-Americans, in particu
lar, cannot afford to take the attitude that nothing will make a difference,”
Leland said. “ We must start somewhere, and African-Americans must take
the lead.
Formerly chairman o f the House Select Committee on Hunger, Leland
led delegations to Africa in efforts to end world hunger, and urged Blacks
in power to help the three-to-five million Africans at risk o f starvation.
