President’s Message he holiday season is upon us and it is such a pleasure to see family and friends at this time of year. Join friends for the festive holiday lunch at the Multnomah Athletic Club on December 14. MAC’s Executive Chef has promised special food, thanks to the influence of Claudine Fisher and Eileen Brennan. Keeping track of retirees is a huge challenge because it seems that as one grows older, one becomes more mobile. We are fortunate to have Steve Brennan who has volunteered to update our database. With his help, we will continue to reach out to all of our wandering retired faculty and staff. You can also help by advising the RAPS office (503-2725-3447 or RAPS@pdx.edu) of changes of addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. I hope to see you at the Holiday Party! --Priscilla Blumel Meet Carissa Ponting ur RAPS Office Manager for 2014-15 is an outstanding graduate student working on a Master of Social Work degree.
