The event is free, there is no public over-night camping, the security is provided by a private firm - approved by the police, natch - thus all situations will be brought to the organizers before involving authority. We do not believe open smoking will be allowed, but no roving squads as per other venues. We do not know if a medication station for patients will be allowed this year.

Growers Market, 454 Willamette St, Eugene, Oregon.
The Eugene OGF holds their meetings on the SECOND SATURDAY of each month.
Their meetings are the same DAY each month, altho they vary the times to suit the
convenience of their Members; so it is best to go to the OGF site
( www.OregonGreenFree.us/forums/ )
which gives a detailed account of all of their meetings.
For example, on Feb. 10 from Noon to 2 - at the Growers Market
(map posted on OGF Eugene site), Cardholders were invited to a free
Grow Class from 11-12, right before the meeting, with emphasis on HOW TO CONSTRUCT
A GROW ROOM.
*
Second Saturdays, at Noon
* a Patient Resource NetWork Meeting in Portland hosted by
Oregon NORML. NOTE: You must have an OMMP card among other requirements.
Visit: > www.ornorml.org < for the latest information on
location, time and requirements.
These meetings are scheduled for the Second Saturday of each
Month - except September and December, when the meeting is held on the third Saturday of the
month.
-> Cardholders can meet with Caregivers - Caregivers can meet with Cardholders.
You must be an Oregon NORML member to attend. Bring your membership card or receipt of
recently-paid dues. They also sell memberships at the door for $35/year. Membership has its
privileges - 12 meetings a year - and your dues also help fund our public events and their
education and lobbying efforts.
Bring your OMMP Card & Picture ID. If you've recently renewed and haven't yet received your
card, bring your DHS paperwork with the receipt from DHS or your registered mail receipt
confirming delivery to DHS. They absolutely will NOT let you in without these documents!
If you can possibly spare them, bring seedlings/clones and medicine to donate to others in
need. They are providing safe access to excess in order to keep patients off of the black
market, but it only works with your kind and generous help. Remember, people who donate get to
go to the front of the line and get in early.
Oregon Medical Marijuana Act absolutely forbids any exchange of medicine for consideration -
and so do they! That means no buying, selling, trading, barter, favors, ANYTHING in exchange
for medicine. Anyone caught violating the law will have their membership privileges permanently
revoked!
This info is available on their website, at the meetings and in the quarterly newsletter.
They print these out to have them available at each quarterly general membership meeting
and the cardholder meetings. Click here >

the mall across from the steps of the Capital Building, Salem, Oregon on Saturday, May 3th, 2008. Officially, the corner of W. Summer and Center streets.
At High Noon (sharp!) we proceed down W. Summer thru the Mall to the corner of W. Summer and Court. Then west down Court Street on the north side-walk. We do not have permission ($!) to use the street, so we must stick to the sidewalks and obey pedestrian rules. We will check on being able to have bicycles and pace vehicles on the street beside us. Do not block traffic or impede other citizens attempting to use the walkway.
We will march, politely and peacefully, down to Liberty Street and turn right. We'll go north up Liberty to Center and turn right. Going east down Center we'll come to W. Summer (the Mall), and return to our original rally point.
In Portland, ...
