Oregon’s first and only woman governor, Barbara Roberts, will discuss her life in the Oregon political arena and feature stories from her newest book, Up the Capitol Steps, at Salem City Club’s annual meeting on Sunday, June 10, in the Dye House of the Willamette Heritage Center at the Mill.

Program for the evening includes:

4:30 p.m. No-host Refreshments
5:30 p.m. Meeting and Dinner
6:30 p.m. Dessert and Program.

In honor of Governor Roberts' appearance at the Salem City Club’s annual celebration, SCC will forego its traditional silent auction fundraiser and instead give back to the community by partnering with Marion County’s “Reading for All” Initiative and Marion-Polk Food Share.

Every spring break, Reading for All provides books and MPFS provides free meals to low income children in Salem-Keizer School District and various cities in Marion County. This Spring Break, 8,000 lunches were served and more than 7,000 childrens books were distributed in 42 locations in the Salem-Keizer School District and rural Marion County, including schools, churches, community centers and all of the Boys and Girls clubs.

Salem City Club members are asked to support these programs by collecting new and slightly-used books for readers pre-school through the third grade and by bringing them to the annual meeting. There is a special need for books (Spanish and English). Scroll down for a list of preferred authors and book titles. Cash donations will also be welcome.

According to Arturo Vargas, program coordinator for the county program, it takes an entire year to collect the thousands of books needed for the Spring Break program. The Salem City Club’s donations will kick-start the collecting for next year’s giveaway.

Vargas explained, “Many of these children as so excited about receiving a book that they always want to read the book before their meal."

Governor Roberts' books will be available for sale before and after the program.

Annual meeting online reservations are now being accepted at rsvp@salemcityclub.com or by calling (503) 370-2808. Cost for the evening is $32 a person.
