(this is from a previous year)
Chandler's first event with a community group he joined last week, Roots & Shoots, was the Peace Dove flying during International Peace Day on Sunday, September 21.
Roots & Shoots is a worldwide organization started and sponsored by the Jane Goodall Institute. The goal for his school's group, is the improve their human community and environment. One of the activities for the year, to maintain and enhance the school forest area, which is used by wildlife and for classroom studies.
The Peace Day event was held at McMenamins at their outdoor Yardhouse Pub. It was a simple event but sent a beautiful message. I am proud Chandler has the desire to be involved and stepped up to help.
Afterwards, we stopped at the Corn Roast hosted at Pacific U. An enjoyable community event hosted every year to honor the founders of Forest Grove.
We didn't have corn but did enjoy a cup of coffee while it rained.

That dove formation is very impressive...looks like a great cause. It's super to see you guys involved in your community!
I have never heard of this group. Oregon is so forward thinking. Though, Tina's school is forward thinking too. What a great way to step up.
