Saturday, April 20, from 1:00 - 4:00 pm, is our day for an ALA-Oregon Chapter fun-filled social event full of camaraderie, bowling, and food! Register by April 10! Several of you participated in past events supporting the Sunshine Division, and we want to continue that support! We are hoping that you can bring one or more non-perishable food items for donation to the Sunshine Division as your entrance to this event—the more the better! This is an exciting opportunity to connect with your fellow members and business partner colleagues while we continue our support of a local community partner. Perhaps a bit of competitive bowling or competitive eating—who knows! Knowing that weekends are often family time, our event is open to your +1 and kids. The Grand Central Bowling venue should be a fun way to mix and mingle, enjoy some good food, enjoy bowling at your leisure, or take in a few arcade game activities. Space is limited so register at oregonala.org EARLY! Be sure to register yourself as well as any family members who will join. Please email Lori Hughes at lori.hughes@millernash.com with any questions. Let her know if you will be bringing any children so that we can plan the menu and arcade opportunities. Let’s kick off spring together, support our local community, and spend time with the best in our community -- you!

This is just up the road from Dufftown, in Elgin. A Foodbank. Are the people of Moray not embarrassed that a SINGLE Firm, (yet just 8% of the entire Scotch Whisky Industry), can take out HALF A BILLION DOLLARS, from the clearly impoverished area, in just a year? Why ON EARTH do we have a Foodbank here? It's only 18 miles drive, between Dufftown and Elgin. Have you been to Elgin? Have you been to Dufftown? There nothing much paved with Gold! It's a similar story, all over Scotland. If you go to most Scottish Foodbanks, they're usually beside a Distillery, Maturation Shed, Cask Manufacturer or Bottler. When are we having a Scotch Whisky Tourism Strategy and Budget? One that gives back, to the areas of Scotland who make the stuff and doesn’t just take. The Scotch Whisky Association knows it's ridiculous, that why they won't let me tag them, on here! There's an App to tell you where the nearest Foodbank is, there's NOT one to tell you where the nearest Distillery is... Does ANYONE care?

Starting TODAY! The Chick-Fil-A at the Americana at Brand will be hosting another food drive benefiting Ascencia! Did you know that Ascencia has a Food Pantry? Many of our permanently housed clients are provided with groceries from our food pantry during a routine check by their Case Manager. Tote bags are with canned goods, rice, beans, cereal etc. and go a long way in supporting our clients’ day-to-day needs. According to a recent survey with Los Angeles (L.A.) County residents participating in the Understanding America Study show that food insecurity increased in 2023, with 3 in 10 (30%) households experiencing food insecurity. This is a 6 percentage-point increase from 2022, when rates were 24%. Please consider dropping off pantry items like cereal, pasta noodles, and canned goods at 807 Americana Way in Glendale, starting today July 22nd until Saturday, July 27th. All donations will benefit Ascencia’s clients! For every 3 unexpired items you bring in, you’ll receive a Chick-fil-A Digital Offer Card as a token of your appreciation. THANK YOU Chick-Fil-A at the Americana at Brand for helping ensure that no one goes hungry at Ascencia. #FoodDrive #GivingBack #LiftingPeopleOutOfHomelessness #FoodInsecurity
