Brown bag Lunch Makers Needed UrgentlyWork from home just became help from home.Lincoln families have hit on a fast-spreading way to feed people suffering during the coronavirus lockdown. Anybody can sign up to make healthy sack lunches for the needy. They are distributed, same day, to unhoused people across the metro area. Families shop for supplies and assemble sack lunches at home: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, two pieces of firm fruit and two snacks, such as string cheese, protein bar, chips etc. (No drinks please, they can cause adult onset sibling rivalry!) One kid and one parent can usually make 25 or 50 lunches in a couple of hours. Just bring the lunches to Lincoln on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. (times may vary, consult the signup spreadsheet) and from there we take care of distribution. Organizer Mary Ann Walker first got word from homeless shelter Blanchet House in Old Town that they were in dire need. On April 10, Cards families working through Friends of Lincoln delivered them 4,500 lunches. Since then it has spread and we’re working with the Joint office of Homeless Services and Transition Projects. They drive out to the edges of the city to camps where people are now afraid to leave their tents and make sure they get a meal. “They’re all reputable nonprofits who know where the need is greatest,” said Walker. “So far, Lincoln families have delivered 7,000 lunches.” Anything you can do would be truly greatly appreciated. | Direct action. No waste. Change you can count on.Remember:
When you sign up, it is super helpful we know how many lunches to expect, so we remain on site until all of the lunches have been dropped off. The need is great, and this is one place you can easily make a difference. Questions? Please email or text: Mary Ann Walker

Life has its moments... many in fact and this is one we are very proud to share
The Architectural Heritage Center (AHC) is hosting an exhibit of photos by renowned Portland photographer Thomas Malcolm Cook telling the story of Darcelle XV at Home, a story unique to our city. In addition to the center's current exhibit, they are planning to document the story of Darcelle and her historic home on video. What's more, the house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places-NPS and the AHC is donating a portion of the funds raised to triangle productions!

LHSAA HONORARY MEMORIALS for LINCOLN HIGH ALUMNI  |
| Jim Grelle was a state champion for Lincoln High School winning back to back Oregon state titles in the 880-yard run in 1954 and 1955. Jim graduated from the University of Oregon where he was teammates with Phil Knight and coached by Bill Bowerman. The Oregon track star helped lay the foundation for the Ducks' middle-distance legacy as the NCAA mile champion his senior year in 1959, and runner-up in 1957 and 1958. During the 1962 Mt. SAC Relays, Grelle became just the 4th American to run a 4-minute mile and continued with winning the Mile event three years in a row. In 1960, Jim Grelle finished eighth in the 1,500 at the Olympic Summer Games in Rome. Mr. Grelle was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1981, the Mt. SAC Relays Hall of Fame in 1991, and the Oregon Ducks Hall of Fame in 1994. |

Mr. Glickman is survived by his wife, Joanne, and son Marshall, who served as Blazers president from 1988-1995 and now lives in Bend. He is also survived by daughters Jennifer and Lynn, grandsons Joel and Laz, and granddaughter Sydney.Operating under the motto of “you win with good people,” Glickman was a front office executive for the Blazers until his retirement in 1994, and he continued as president emeritus until his death. His motto paid off, as seven years after securing the franchise, the Blazers won the 1977 NBA championship. The team would later amass 814 consecutive sellouts from 1977-1995, the longest sellout streak in NBA history, and the longest streak in professional sports until baseball’s Boston Red Sox recorded a string of 820 sellouts from 2003-2013. Harry Glickman’s deep voice became a fixture in the Portland entertainment scene starting in the 1950s as a promoter who staged some of the state’s largest events. The events ranged from performers such as Liberace and Judy Garland, to sports teams such as the Los Angeles Rams, who played an exhibition in Portland the season after they won the 1951 NFL championship. In 1958, he ran Multnomah Stadium for two years and was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club for more than 50 years. Ten years later in 1968, Harry Glickman was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and in 1992, he was given Portland’s First Citizen award for civic leadership. Mr. Glickman is also a member of the International Jewish Hall of Fame and received the John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September 2019. |
PPS / LHS REBUILD PROJECT 2019-2022 |
Construction Updates September 2020: Lincoln Rebuild Project has made significant progress on the foundation and in ground utilities in preparation for when structures will start rising up from the ground. Finishing concrete work with the buffing machines is occurring in the Dance / Wrestling room. In the Northwest corner of the site the foundation of the library is well developed and ADA ramps have gone in. | Recycled Materials
Hoffman Pacificmark used 10,000,000 pounds of recycled concrete saved from a local project site for the leveling fill and rock substrate. This recycled material will remain in place to provide support for the future track and field. This recycling effort kept a significant amount of material out of the waste stream providing material & cost efficiency. For more information and updates, please click this link PPS/LHS FAQ's & Updates | Get Connected Get connected to receive updates and events notices.
