Plan to attend a Regional Roundup in April
Oregon heritage includes many forms, shapes and interests.
A draft Heritage Vitality Report, which features results of the recent heritage assessment survey, will be one of the centerpieces of the Oregon Heritage Regional Roundups.

The Regional Roundups are substituting this year for the Oregon Heritage Conference, which will resume in 2011. The Roundups will take place April 9 in Oregon City, April 22 in Jacksonville and April 29 in LaGrande.

“Opening Doors in the New Decade” is the theme of the roundups. Attendees will participate in seminars and workshops, as well as shape plans for their organization and for statewide heritage efforts.
