Portland, December 7th, 2014. The Wheel to Walk Foundation celebrated its ‘Million Dollar Luncheon’ because the nonprofit has awarded over $1 million dollars in medical equipment and services to children with disabilities. The afternoon luncheon drew 250 people and raised over $22,000 which will help children with special needs. Sandy Getman is the Executive Director who started this non-profit over 20 years ago when her granddaughter was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Sandy and her organization have helped many children and their families. By purchasing necessary equipment, children enjoy more inclusive family activities which helps strengthen their bodies and spirits. The Wheel to Walk Foundation’s goal is to see that no child with special needs go without the necessary equipment to help them flourish and reach their full potential.
Christine Getman was one of the speakers of the day’s events and Leslie Adams (center) and Vicky Aubry from Performance Mobility were one of the sponsors of Wheel to Walk’s event.
Sandy Getman engages the audience with stories of how Wheel to Walk is impacting the lives of children and their families with disabilities.

Edison High School, founded in 1973, is the only high school in Oregon and SW Washington that is specifically dedicated to serving high school students with learning differences. Our work at Edison is powerful and profound: helping every student reach his or her full potential. Edison offers an individualized curriculum that meets each student’s special needs, and maximizes the ability to learn. We also provide the emotional support that builds confidence and maturity. By empowering students with learning differences to experience academic success and personal growth, Edison does more than prepare teens for the future. We change lives.
Our school was founded in 1973 as the Tree of Learning. For 17 years, students were taught in portable classrooms on the Jesuit High School campus. In 1992, we moved into a brand new building of our own, changing our name to honor Thomas Alva Edison.
As a dyslexic, Edison struggled greatly in school, where he was considered a mischief-maker and a problem child. His mind often wandered in class, he talked when he was supposed to be listening, and he paid little attention to detail. The schoolmaster called young Edison “addle brained” and considered him such a poor student that he advised Edison’s mother to take him out of school altogether, “for he would never make a scholar.”
Of course, Edison proved everyone wrong. And while not every child with learning differences will achieve such notability as an adult, the example of Thomas Edison’s achievements serves as our daily inspiration. Just as Edison transformed the way we live, Edison High School works to transform the lives of our students.

Portland, December 6th, 2014. This year will mark the 60th anniversary of Portland’s Christmas Ships Parade. Volunteers are making it easier for crowds to track the fleet. On parade nights, a crew member from each fleet will be sending out live tweets. Those tweets will provide real time updates. Each tweet will contain either “#WillametteFleet” or “#ColumbiaFleet.” Those tweets can be seen on the Christmas Ship home page or directly from the Twitter feed. The fleet is much like the post office, members forge ahead through rain, snow, and of course, dark of night. Organizers say, “The increase contact we see through the web page here, as well as through our Facebook page and Twitter feed, further cement the incredible interest shown for this event. Christmas Ships Parade fans not only show up to visit us in all sorts of weather, but they’re actively involved in communicating with the leadership, sharing pictures and videos, making donations, and offering suggestions.

Since 1965, Young Musicians & Artists (YMA) has provided a high-quality residential summer performing and visual arts program. Students who have completed grades 4 through 12 receive professional instruction in dance, instrumental music, photography, creative writing, piano, musical theatre, songwriting, composition, theatre, visual arts, and vocal music.
The primary goals of the Young Musicians & Artists program are to provide excellent arts instruction, to expose students to first-class artistic work by professional artists, to foster a love and appreciation of creative expression, and to build confidence and self-esteem in young artists.
YMA has grown steadily from a one-week summer camp of 50 string students to the Northwest’s premier visual and performing arts residential summer program. Since 1974, YMA has been housed at Willamette University, which offers outstanding facilities and an environment that is perfectly suited to the appreciation of the arts. Today, 50 artist/instructors, 20 guest artists, and 40 student-counselors work with approximately 250 students with a keen interest in the performing and visual arts.
The superb instruction, creative environment, camaraderie among the counselors and students, and lasting friendships bring former students, parents, and friends back year after year to relive that “YMA magic.”
Join us! Take part in YMA as a student, parent, audience member, or visitor. All of our evening performances are open to the public, including our final performances and Session 2 gallery display, and we encourage you to attend. You will be impressed and amazed, not only by the work these young artists produce in such a short time, but also with the personal growth and joy that the YMA program allows them to experience.
