We’re bounding forward toward 2012, so let’s take a look back at some memorable events of 2011

As we joyfully welcome 2012, we also take the opportunity to look back and give thanks for the wonderful moments of 2011!

Portland Society Page launched on September 30th, 2011 as a free platform for nonprofit news. We have been overwhelmed by the positive support from our friends in the nonprofit community. Business leaders and community activists have validated our belief that the Rose City is ready for this community news source about our vibrant charities. Subscribers say they look forward to receiving their free newsletter every Sunday morning. (The photo of the young rider, which as become our Portland Society Page logo, was taken at the Early Summer Classic at Hunter Creek Farm in Wilsonville, Oregon.)

Your support has been gratifying and humbling–Thank you!

As a nationally published reporter, with a Master’s Degree in Journalism, I love to report positive news and information. Journalism has also connected me with another non-profit where I served as a leader; the Northwest’s biggest writer’s organization: The Willamette Writers.
