admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:06:45 +0000

Don’t miss the next 789 JAM, scheduled for Friday, February 26 from 7:30 – 10:00. Tell all your friends, and bring a canned or boxed food item for the food pantry.

ALL 6th – 9th grade students are welcome – not just those who attend West Linn or Wilsonville schools. DON’T FORGET YOUR SCHOOL ID – IT’S REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION! If everyone in your car has an ID , then you can take advantage of the express drop-off lane. If not, your driver will need to fill out an emergency contact form verifying that everyone in the car is in 6th – 9th grade.

You’ll also need to show your school ID to get the new 789 JAM photo ID, which will give you a $2 discount off the $10 admission at all future dances. Fill out the ID card application here, then have your photo taken at the event and you’ll get your card at the next 789 JAM (or before, if you stop by Willamette Christian Church during business hours after you’re notified that the card is ready).

To keep everyone safe in the parking lot, stay in your car until you’re instructed to exit, and remind your chauffeur that they’re required to come inside at the end of the dance to pick you up. See you on the 26th!

Haiti Donation

Thanks to everyone who came to the January 789 JAM - because of you, we were able to send more than $10K to the Red Cross for the Haiti relief efforts! Here’s the text of the letter that was sent along with the donation checks:

American Red Cross
PO Box 4002018
Des Moines, IA 50340-2018

To whom it may concern,

Enclosed you will find checks totaling $10,018.05, which we are submitting for your Haiti Relief and Development Fund. This money was collected from the students, parents, volunteers and sponsors of 789 JAM at the dance held last Friday night.

This community program, co-sponsored by former Portland Trail Blazer Brian Grant, the City of West Linn Police Dept. and Parks & Rec, and Willamette Christian Church, provides entertainment options for 6th-9th graders in the south Portland metropolitan area.

In response to questions from students about what they could do to help those impacted by the earthquake in Haiti, we announced the donation drive just two days before the dance. Through the generosity of everyone involved, we are please to send this sum with the hope that it can be used to improve the situation for those in Haiti who are suffering so greatly.

Sincerely,

The 789 JAM Sponsors

Proceeds to benefit Haiti
