PS: This is NOT an official OOPS trip/event but a wonderful opportunity extended by Ginni. Thanks too to OOPS member Susan Dininni who initially proposed the idea to Ginni. Susan has been on this particular trip twice and has offered to be a local (Portland) resource. She also may lead a local "overnight shake down" for those registered.
