Why can't I find this story?

Last night, I heard a news story. The 11pm news, you know...

A man in Gresham was stabbed to death and the police were saying it was a case of "domestic violence".

I don't know about you, but I am hard-pressed to believe that the woman doing the stabbing was the abuser.

Did anyone else hear about this? I can't find it on local news network web-sites.


And just a self-indulgent p.s. Thanks for posting about Dreamworlds, Kelsey! Kelsey, you may know and love her as one of our awesome Crisis Line Specialists and PWCL's Administrative Assistant, is my new Development Assistant!! We send many thanks to Meyer Memorial Trust. And to Kelsey for taking on this challenge.

Nice Note from a Funder

Wen received a small crisis line grant today from one of my favorite funders - the Anne and Eli Shapira Charitable Foundation. They are my favorite (as is the case a lot of the time) because the Grant Administrator really loves PWCL and works hard to make sure that we get funding.

Here's what he wrote back to me:

Dear Linda,

Congratulations again and thank you for sending in the Grant Agreement so quickly. I have enclosed the grant award check. We are proud supporters of your efforts to deal with domestic violence through the Crisis Line Program for the last 35 years. Here's to another 35 years. It is a pleasure to be among your current supporters.


I just like that its kind of informal and conversational. Makes these foundations seem like real people, you know?
