Agnes Beach Scholarship
Thanks to YOUR contributions, the Agnes Beach Scholarship is now fully endowed and will be awarded on an annual basis beginning in the 2012-13 school year!
Fundraisers
This year we launched two new fundraisers in place of our garage sale. First, we are selling coffee from The Unseen Bean. The owner, Gerry Leary, is blind from birth and a dear friend of DG. Let’s support his passion for excellent coffee while raising funds! Contact vpfi nance@portlanddg.org for an order form. For each pound of coffee we sell, our chapter makes $5 (less shipping charges) toward our goal of $1,500. Connect with family, coworkers and friends to share this aromatic fundraiser.
Look for our Chapter Giving Tree at each event to find special ways you can support the chapter and our fundraising goals.
Your dues and contributions allow us to continue to make a difference, both by providing excellent programming and resources for our sisters (such as this newsletter and our Web site), as well as making a larger impact with our donations to the Foundation and other. organizations.
Portland Suburban alumnae chapter members now have the ability to pay dues via PayPal! This allows you to pay using your Visa or MasterCard, or using your existing PayPal account. Note: This service is free of charge for our members.
PayPal is a secure site which will protect your credit card information. Portland Suburban never actually sees your credit information or processes the payment. PayPal handles everything, and the money gets deposited directly into our checking account. Easy!

We raised several thousand dollars at our Spring Flower Sale and Founders Day auction.

15% to Vision Northwest
