This month, JHC made a brief foray into the world of beauty and glamor. Our two Linfield College interns Hannah and Maribel presented about creating beauty products from everyday nontoxic materials, while Program Manager Amanda Lawrence gave a great Green Cleaning Workshop at the ICTC Holiday Beauty Spa.  Read our blog for details and pictures!  Also, Amanda is now officially a TV star. Watch her interview on MetroEast's Community Hotline, in which she shared a heart-warming fact with the world: JHC volunteers logged almost 2000 hours with us this year! How amazing is that!  

Bruce M. Watts and Josiah Hill III became good friends during the twelve years in which Bruce was Executive Directorof the  Coalition of Black Men. In 2000, Bruce joined TriMet as the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise & Workforce Manager, bringing with him an extensive background in advocacy, broad-based community relations, problem solving, and negotiations. In 2002, Bruce was promoted to Senior Director of the new Diversity and Transit Equity department, striving to create a diverse contracting & construction workforce reflecting the Portland Metropolitan community. One of the founding members of JHC, the Clinic holds a special place in Bruce's heart.  As Bruce says, "This was Josiah's baby, and he was a great man. When Josiah passed, I made a commitment to devote time and energy to this project." Thank you, Bruce, for your unswerving dedication and support. We wouldn't be here without you.
