Portland has a reputation for being one of the greenest cities in the
United States.

JAMISON CHILDREN'S CENTER SENDS THANKS
The area charity chosen by the Chapter during the holidays was the A.
Merriam Jamison Children's Center - a wonderful facility dedicated to
providing a temporary home for children who are displaced due to family
problems. Proceeds from the Chapter's Christmas Dinner were sent
as a donation in support of the Jamison Center. The Chapter
recently received thanks from Carl Guilford, Jr., the Center's Program
Director. Director Guilford's letter may be viewed by clicking

A&WMA FACT SHEETS
From time to time, A&WMA publishes Fact Sheets that provide information
in "layman's" terms that discuss various aspects of environmental
issues. Current Fact Sheets deal with Air Quality and
Environmental Management issues. Starting this month (January -
okay we're a little early!), the Golden Empire Chapter will feature a
new Fact Sheet for your review. This months sheet is titled
Air Pollution Emission Control Devices For Stationary Sources.
