Dr. Voetterl -

My name is Nicole Hee, I was in your leadership for change back in the fall and
recently met with you at the fishbowl discussion for PSU/PCC and its community
partners.  With the new term beginning I wanted to give you some contact info
on a community partner that I think would be perfect for your class.  Its
Sisters in Action for Power, with a basic of teaching girls of colorleadership
skills to deal with issues in the community.  I was just hoping that you would
be interested in adding them to your list of community partners.  They look
more for students of color to work with the girls.  They are located at 1732 NE
Alberta and can be contacted at 503-331-1244.  If you have any questions you
can contact me or them.  Thanks a lot.

Nicole
