FIFTH ANNUAL DRUM MAJOR ECUMENICAL SCHOLARSHIP AND AWARD SERVICE

THE FIFTH ANNUAL DRUM MAJOR SCHOLARSHIP & AWARD SERVICE

Please come out and join us at the Fifth Annual Drum Major Ecumenical Service Sunday January 16, 2011 at 3:00 PM, at Vancouver Avenue First Baptist Church, 3138 N. Vancouver Avenue, Portland Oregon 97227. The Mass Choir will be singing and Rabbi Michael Cahana will be the keynote speaker. We are, as we do every year, honoring a number of community leaders for their life work, hearing from faith and civic leaders, and receiving a free-will offering to sustain our Drum Major Scholarship Fund. If you can’t make the service, please provide an offering in the Blue Envelope and designate it for the Drum Major Scholarship Fund. Through this effort we have supported the after-high school pursuits of all 34 Vancouver Avenue high school graduates and college students since 2007. So far, each of our young people have graduated from high school and gone on to a job, the military, a trade, community college, or four-year colleges or universities. We’ve also supported four college student’s semester abroad programs in Spain, Italy, and Africa . For more information, please call Izora Green at 503-282-9496.
