We are so excited to be hosting a party for you!!! We are inviting everyone to come down to West Cafe for some wonderful food and drink. In an effort to build team unity we hope all the athletes going to Cologne will join us this evening. We are also hoping to see all of our friends and supporters who have helped us get this far.

So please come down, enjoy some “toe tapping” music and be part of something very special.

Please RSVP by March 7th! Can’t wait to see you.

On Tuesday, March 16, West Cafe’s ever-popular wine dinner returns – featuring downtown Portland’s most delectable comestibles and a series of sublime new wines. Please join us on Tuesday, 3/16 at 7PM for an exceptional 5 course meal and help West Cafe decide (by voting) which wines will be added to our new wine-list.

Head Chef and Co-Owner Sean Concannon regularly works wonders to develop amazing pairings featuring the finest regional and international wines. Our monthly wine dinners are becoming a downtown Portland “must-do” event and in March, we’re donating 10% of the evening’s revenue to Team Oregon 2010, Oregon’s representatives for the 2010 Gay Games in Cologne, Germany.

All this for only $35.00 plus gratuity.

Reservations are required and can be made via phone at 503.227.8189 or email us at eat@westcafepdx.com.

Be sure to make reservations soon as these events typically sell out quickly.

So far there are over 100 different types of Volunteer positions identified. In the upcoming weeks more tasks and needs will be identified. We are looking for support from a wide range of different areas and abilities. The jobs range from accreditation workers and tournament escorts to driving services, support for visitors, and specific sports support.

It does not matter whether you come from Cologne, Germany or another part of the world. We want your help whether you speak German, English, or another language. You can volunteer if you want to help with a certain sport, with the cultural and events area, or with the opening ceremony. We will have the perfect Volunteer task for you!

Here is how it works:

- Review the positions offered in the Volunteers Portal and choose one of the options.

- Not finding the position you want? Register as a volunteer and you will receive information about new positions which you can choose.

The Volunteers Portal offers even more. It puts you in contact with other volunteers. You may find someone in your area. The portal will provide training for your task in Cologne. You will also receive information about the special masters program for the Volunteers, about admission to evening meetings, and much more. The volunteer coordinator for your chosen area will provide you with up-to-date information over the portal.

Of course you can also register as a volunteer, even if you have already registered as a participant in a sport or a cultural event.

All information can be found on our website.

Within days, Portland Badge produced two fabulous, high quality banners. Their customer service was phenomenal, including a Saturday delivery! Portland Badge DONATED the banners, valued together at $300.

Portland Badge was founded by Paula Middaugh and Michael Carlson with the goal of providing quality name badges and signs to businesses of all sizes. Quality name badges are an excellent investment for any business. Think of them as mini-billboards, advertising your logo in a professional way. They increase your brand exposure, whether used in the office, the sales floor or at trade shows.

Vinyl signs and car magnets can help your organization make a splash at an event or on the road.

Team Oregon 2010 thanks Portland Badge for its donation. Our events will now have a fabulous anchor point.

Please visit the Portland Badge website at http://www.portlandbadge.com and thank them for helping Team Oregon 2010 by ordering some badges or banners!
