Vitamins

For those who have been regular readers of my blogs, or know me, you know I prefer "real" food to products with unpronounceable names in them....It's why I have been taking a daily vitamin that is food based - and not one "made" in a lab with who-knows-what in it.

I was alerted to an article about vitamins - which you can read it here

In short it's an article about food-based vitamins v. synthetic ones and contained information I was not aware of concerning the synthetics and the idea of talking in terms of milligrams.

It's worth a read if you take vitamins.

AGENDA

· Meet The Judge!

Special guest Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Dick Baldwin.
Judge Baldwin will discuss preserving Oregon’s fair and impartial court system. Q & A session encouraged.

Representatives of the Columbia River Crossing Task Force (New I-5 Bridge) will be on hand to show us the newest design proposals. This project is proceeding quickly and the final design for the new I-5 bridge may be chosen as soon as this Fall. The new I-5 bridge will definitely have a major impact on our neighborhood. This is your opportunity to have a say on how the new bridge will look.
