Organizational Meeting:

Sylvania “Stand for Children” Team

Wednesday, November 27
Noon to 1PM
CC Building, Spruce Room

You bring lunch, we’ll bring cookies!

Students, staff, faculty welcome!!

Stand for Children is a national, grassroots organization.
Small TEAMS come together at churches, schools, and workplaces.
Teams choose activities they want to participate in, and join with larger 
chapters (e.g. Portland Chapter, Oregon Chapter) to pursue larger goals.

Portland’s Measure 26-33 raises $10 million a year for children’s 
programs--a direct result of Stand for Children getting the City Council to 
put it on the ballot, and working tirelessly to explain the benefits to voters.

A PCC Sylvania Stand Team will decide its own issue(s), and how to work on 
them.  It will also participate with the Portland Chapter on issues decided 
by all the teams in Portland.

Possible issues might include child care, child poverty, education (e.g. 
reading difficulties), health care, or anything else members are concerned 
about.

This is truly a grassroots, hands-on organization.
NO meetings unless there is actual work to be done, then the Team goes to work!
Join us.  Working together we can create the Stand motto:

         “Every child deserves this one thing: A fair chance in life.”
