Memo Pad

To fully serve the community, the Mid-county Memo offers this section to showcase upcoming spe-cial events, celebrations of milestones in our readersÕ lives, those seemingly small accomplishments that often do not receive the recognition they deserve, and everyday events that should be shared with friends and neighbors along with opportunities to participate in the community. Memo Pad submissions for the May issue are due Monday, April 15. For best results, e-mail Darlene Vinson at editor@mid-countymemo.com. Or mail submissions to 3510 N.E. 134th Ave, Portland, OR 97230. To leave a phone message, call 503-287-8904. The fax number is 503-249-7672.
