n W ednesday,Nov. 25, the
Portland Power players and

Thanksgiving Day dinner to the area's
homeless from 3-5 p.m. at the Salva­

meal, as well as interacted with the
homeless at Harbor Light Center. The
center is located at 30 SW 2nd Av­

It is the first time in the Pow er’s

Thanksgiving meal to the homeless,
and is an extension o f the Power’s

To date, Power players and staff have
made upwards of 80 public appear­

The Power have won three straight

11 Pacific University Business students are
participating in the Generals Motors
marketing internship (GMMI). GMMI is a
national educational program that allows
students to apply textbook knowledge to
real life situations by forming a partnership
between the university and a local
Chevrolet dealer.
The student’s main objective is to raise
public awareness about their sponsor,
Bruce Cheverolet of Hillsboro, and its
products. Bruce Chevrolet provides a
budget to create a marketing plan and
implement a promotional event. Proceeds
raised at the event will be donated to the
meals on wheels charity.

Blvd. is “bursting at the
seam s,” Groscup said. The new
location will provide a greater
inventory for the public. How­
ever, he said, “We do not plan
to expand” the 30-person sales
force now working at the store.
The new building will be two
sto ries and 32 feet tall,
Donohue said. It will have a brick
facade, a bronze-colored alu­
minum roof, awnings and ex­
tensive use of glass, she said.
The parking lot, 30 feet of which
will front on the boulevard, will
have entrances on Knott and
Russell streets, she said. There
will be extensive landscaping
along the perimeters.
The existing building will
be “returned to the ow ner”
(H ow ard G lazer) when the
new f a c ility is c o m p le te ,
Groscup said.
