After seven years, Gavin Larsen is hanging up her pointe shoes
It’s a bittersweet week around Oregon Ballet Theatre. Principal Dancer and fan favorite, Gavin Larsen, is retiring from the stage to focus on teaching at the School of Oregon Ballet Theatre. For ticket info to Larsen’s final performances, check out obt.org.
Nonprofits and investors are getting in the same room next week thanks to the ReVisioning Value Conference.
As discussed on today’s Good News Update on KXL, there is a big push for “Impact Investing.” Basically, this school of thought says charity can only push nonprofit visions so far. You need “market driven dollars” to help push that vision to its potential. This is a conference for nonprofits looking for investors, and investors wanting to get involved in a nonprofit. They’re still open to participants so feel free to register!
If you want some face time with the Mayor of Beaverton and you are under 18, sign up for the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board. We talked with some of the members in todays GNU on KXL . . . great opportunity to get involved in city happenings.
Sign ups are due soon so go here.
Yes, our own Colby Reade was on KGW thiws morning dressed in Tiger Print Footy PJS . . . for those who missed the GNU on KXL, it was to support the upcoming Sleep County Pajama Bowl. It’s a really fun event every year where teams get together and raise money for foster kids. The culmination is a day of bowling at Big Als in Vancouver in, you guessed it, your PJs.
The money raised helps fill in the gaps for foster kids. Things like summer camp, tutoring, basketball, dance lessons. All of those kids activities that they may miss out on due to added expense. We’ve been at this event in the past and it is a real hoot.
For sign up info, go here.
