Senior Community
Honors Dream
“I Have a Dream, Too” is the
theme of the first annual Mary’s
Woods celebration service hon-
oring the legacy of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.
Scheduled for Monday, Jan.
19 at 9:30 a.m. in the Chapel of
the Holy Names at the Mary’s
Woods senior community in
Lake Oswego, the celebration
will feature seven diverse speak-
ers from different age groups
reflecting on their dream for our
society based on the principles
of social justice and equality.
Portland’s Northwest Free-
dom Singers, an African-Ameri-
can singing group comprised of
some of the city’s finest voices,
will perform.
“This day of remembrance
reminds us of our call and our
responsibility to create a world
where in Dr. King’s words, ‘all
will be judged by the content of
their character,’” said Marvin
Kaiser, chief executive officer
of Mary’s Woods.
Admission is free and refresh-
ments will be served. The event
is co-sponsored by the City of
Lake Oswego Parks and Rec-
reation Department, which will
provide free shuttle service from
the parking lot of the Lake Os-
wego Adult Community Center
at 505 G Avenue, starting at 8:45
a.m.
New Beginnings
for PCC Cascade
continued
from page 14
classrooms. The Center for Ca-
reers in Education and the Port-
land Teachers Program are
housed there, as well as the new
childcare center housing Albina
Head Start and Early Head Start.
PCC received an $8 million
matching grant from Oregon's
Community Colleges Workforce
Development Department for
this building.
The Student Union is a 36,000-
square-foot building that replaces
an outdated, 1970s-era Student
Center. Amenities include food
service and dining areas, student
clubs and government offices, a
study/lounge area, flexible meet-
ing space, Women's Resource
Center, Multicultural Center and
the International Education Pro-
gram offices.
The area between the two
new buildings is a landscaped
plaza that will be part of an
east-west "mall" running
through the entire campus once
construction is complete. Be-
low the plaza and the two build-
ings is the underground park-
ing garage that opened this past
September.
The 211-space garage is the
first of its kind to be built on any
PCC campus. Its design was
part of the college's commit-
ment to the neighbors and the
city of Portland to reduce the
number of college-related ve-
hicles parking on local streets.
A nation or
civilization that
continues to produce
soft-minded men
purchases its own
spiritual death on an
installment plan.
-- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
