An Adventure Waits in Portland, Oregon in 2009
The Oregon State Elks Association, sponsor PGER James W. Damon and local Chairman Lowell E. Hootman, extend to all Elks, their spouses and families an invitation to attend the 145th Grand Lodge Convention being held in Portland, Oregon, from July 6 to 10, 2009. It will be an adventure you'll want to be present for!
We will convene in the heart of the City of Roses at the downtown Portland Hilton Hotel and across the river at the Portland Convention Center.
Set against the backdrop of majestic Mount Hood, Portland combines a sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere with refreshingly friendly, small-town warmth that makes it a natural for tours of all types. Whether in groups or individually, Elks and their families can cruise our scenic rivers, stroll through gardens and parks, shop tax-free in our tempting array of stores and boutiques, then wrap up the day with world-class dining and entertainment. Do you need any better reason to add the 145th Grand Lodge Convention being held in Portland, Oregon, to your travel plans?
The Host Committee of the Oregon Elks has been and will be working to make the 145th National Convention an adventure you will never forget. Twenty surrounding Elk Lodges in the Portland area will ensure that fun and fellowship will be had by all.
