Help Wanted

As you may have guessed, Commerce alums are now into their 70's and 80's but are still going strong. However, we need more members, both Commerce and Cleveland, to carry on the important work of the scholarship committee.

Our luncheon meeting is held the second Wednesday of each month at the Eastmoreland Grill. We do not meet in July and August.

Please contact Karen Genzer, Co-Chair (class of 1963) at (503) 775-3246 or Jean Miller, Co-Chair (class of 1948) at (503) 234-4273. Or just come to the next meeting. We hope to see you there.
