"Special Olympics Oregon has given me a family," Fengxian said. "Learning the game and being on the playing field, it's like going to a family reunion." Fengxian has been a Special Olympics Oregon athlete for over 8 years. Originally born in China, when her adopted family moved to the PNW, she found a place to feel included in SOOR. With your support, our athletes access free, year-round training, inclusive sports, and health programs that help them shine on and off the field, just like athlete, Fengxian. ?? FLASH MATCH: Donations through Saturday 2X AS FAR! Make a donation today to Special Olympics Oregon and support the thousands of athletes like Fengxian, with vital programming! https://ow.ly/sKMs50U7ebU

I rescue urban trees and give them a second life by converting them to lumber; and I provide tools so others can too: AncesTREE Inventory Management App & Urban Lumber Market? |? Urban Wood Store | Sawmill & Kiln Sales
Had a great time with the Urban Wood Network Oregon Chapter this past weekend with the Portland Timbers mascot Timber Joey for a Victory Log Cookie signing and milling demonstration by urban wood supporter Wood-Mizer LLC. The slabs from the Victory logs will be used for plaques for the Special Olympics Oregon Big thanks to Hampton Lumber, OREGON WOMEN IN TIMBER, World Forestry Center, Oregon Department of Forestry, Margaret Miller of Oregon Forest Resources Institute, Brett Lottman, and others for making this happen.
