Health Care

Oregon and nationwide are struggling to
provide the facilities and physicians neces­
sary to meet demands for health care. Sena­
tor Packwood will chair 11 Senate Field
Hearings on the subject during his trip.
Senator Packwood hopes to work with
Oregonians to identify the problems facing
rural health care providers, and explore
potential solutions to those problems.
Senator Packwood will also address
the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce
Leadership Forum on Thursday, January
11, and will meet with members of the
Pacific Northwest International Trade
Association on Friday, January 12.

Fund Raising Event For
The Martin Luther King,

In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.’s birthday, the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Scholarship Fund of Oregon joined
together with the Friends of Martin Luther
King Scholarships to raise funds for stu­

Please join us for an evening of casino

gon Air National Guard Officer’s Club, NE
Com foot Road, Portland, Oregon. Please
call 280-6181 before January 12 to make

The Friends of the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Scholarship was started ten years ago by
three friends: the late Dr. C. Jack Ryan,
James Thomas, and Michael Jordan who
shared birthdays in the month of January.
They decided to assist the youth in our
community in receiving a college educa­
tion by hosting an annual fund raiser and
contributing the funds to the Martin Luther
King Jr. Scholarship Fund of Oregon.
The Board of Directors of the Martin
Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Fund of Ore­
gon will be honoring these dedicated com ­
munity members.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholar­
ship Fund was incorporated in 1971, and
located on the Portland State University
campus in offices donated by the Univer­
sity. The Scholarship Fund has provided
about 1,700 scholarships to needy students,
totaling more than $400,000 in educational
assistance. The Board of Directors utilizes
more than ninety-five percent of the contri­
butions in direct scholarship assistance,
with the small remainder going to defray
operating expenses as a non-profit chari­
table organization. The generosity of cor­
porations and concerned members of the
community have opened many doors for
our youth to have an educational experi­
ence.
