St. William’s Youth Group makes trip to Burnside Seven members of the St. W illiam ’s Youth G roup accom panied by three adult chaperones left lone at the crack of dawn on Saturday, May 23, for a day long service experi ence in the Burnside area of Portland. The group arrived at the Downtown Chapel at the appointed time of 8:45 laden with bagels and coffee for the morning hos pitality along with bags of donated clothing, socks and underwear. The Downtown Chapel is a Roman Catholic parish that has been serving the basic needs of the poor and marginalized in Old Town Portland since 1919. The group attended to different duties at the Downtown Chapel. One group stood at the front door and welcomed guests to come upstairs for a cup of coffee and a bagel. One group served the bagels and coffee. The rest of the group took the opportunity to visit with the morning guests. The kids circulated from job to job so they could experience all aspects. When hospitality ended at 11 a.m. the group sat down with Valerie Silli- man, faith and service intern at the Downtown Chapel. Ms. Silliman gave an over view of the day’s schedule and a bit o f background on the Downtown Chapel. They then were sent off B CA ITA B _ _ WHAT IS THE APR? When you compare mort gage interest rates offered by different banks, there’s going to be a confusion fac tor. Inevitably, you'll have to compare the quoted interest rate and then try to figure the impact of the points added to the price. Normally, the lower the rate, the higher the points. So which is the better rate, 6% and one point or 5% and two points. The easiest way to get the answer to this important ques tion is to ask the lender what the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is By law, the lender must make this disclosure to you. In effect HE will add the quoted rate and the dollar rate of the points, then make some divine mathematical calcula tion and come up with a true rate. This is one which you can compare from bank to bank. Points are simply charges assessed by a lender for ar ranging the loan. In other words, they are a form of in terest collected in advance. One point is the equivalent of one percent of the mortgage amount. Properly listings are available at www.sykesrealeslate.net 188 W. Willow • P.O.

The group had anticipated working at Blanchet House but were instead guests at the soup kitchen. Blanchet House is a remarkable facility that puts out three hot meals a day, six days a week to anyone who arrives on their doorstep. They effi ciently feed approximately 300 people at each meal and go from first diner to clean up in about 1.5 hours. The lone group ended up experiencing "receiving” from Blanchet House, a concept they were not al together comfortable with. However, the experience was good. The group was not able to sit together but almost every member found a table mate w anting to talk and share. A fter lunch, the group was taken on a w alk ing tour of Old Town. Vari ous agencies serving the homeless, poor, and men tally disabled were pointed out and their roles were explained. To conclude, the group shared some time back at the Downtown Cha pel, reflecting on the day’s events and the impact on them and their faith. “ It is our goal to build empathy for people who have such a different life from us,” said trip co ordinator, Anne Morter. “A problem we really hadn’t thought much about is lone liness and many people re ally enjoyed having some one to talk to.” G roup m em bers attending the day were Clay Morter, Tyree Svetich, Toon Junnoi, Beth Morter, Stephanie Medina, Alex Ri- etmann and Steven Holland. Adult chaperones were Jeri McElligott, Debbie Camp bell and Anne Morter. Since the group cannot possibly work at the Downtown Chapel as often as they would like, the group decided to hold a coffee cup drive. The Chapel has an ongoing need for sturdy coffee cups as they lose a fair number to breakage and guest who take their hot drink to go. The group would welcome donations o f used coffee mugs w hich they would do nate to the facility. Anyone wishing to clean out their cupboard should contact a youth group member or one of the adult leaders.
