LETTER FROM THE
Editor
Hello Orcas!
I hope all of you had a spectacular month last month, soaking up the sun, getting ready for summer and most importantly serving your community! It was great seeing some of you at this month’s DCM and the Portland Area Rally! I love seeing my beautiful Orca’s! I know that summer is here but that won’t stop the service or even me seeing you guys. We will have an extra special DCM this month. Also, don’t forget to contact me if you or your club has any questions, concerns or you just want to talk! I hope that the service is just as strong this month as it has always been!

This deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating – tiny newborns suffer repeated painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
