could you please add this event!!!

PORTLAND, Ore. ~ Portland’s premier tattoo studio, Icon Tattoo, opens its doors on Sunday, November 22nd from 11:00 am-7:00 pm to house a benefit for BARK, a Portland nonprofit that fights to protect Mt. Hood National Forest. The entire day will be dedicated to forest-themed tattoos. Owner Melanie Nead and her team of tattoo artists are hard at work drawing up sheets of trees, pine cones, ferns, squirrels, mushrooms, and other small, forest-themed tattoos, which will be available for set prices, with 100% of the cost of tattoos donated to BARK. The eager tattoo lover, or those who don’t want tattoos but know someone who does, will be able to bid on tattoo gift certificates at the silent auction going on all day, the proceeds of which will also go to BARK. For a few extra dollars, the newly tattooed can have their picture taken by a BARK volunteer to capture the tattooed experience as a keepsake and a memento to honor one’s very visible commitment to saving the forest!

BARK’s mission is to transform Mt. Hood National Forest into a place where natural processes prevail, where wildlife thrives and where local communities have a social, cultural, and economic investment in its restoration and preservation. The idea for BARK was conceived by two friends, attorney Greg Dyson and musician John "Lenny" Rancher, after witnessing vast clear-cuts and old-growth logging while exploring Mt. Hood National Forest. They gathered together a diverse array of dedicated professionals and passionate activists to form a working board of directors and formed BARK. Since its start in 1999, hundreds of volunteers have been trained about the basics of forest policy and protected nearly 10,000 acres of forest from the chainsaw.

“BARK is a totally amazing nonprofit that fights timber sales on Mt. Hood. They're one of my absolutely favorite organizations, and they've done so much to combat logging in the Mt. Hood Forest area,” says Icon Tattoo’s owner Melanie Nead. “Since they've done so much for the forest I love, I want to do something for them!”

Icon Tattoo Studio is located 813 N. Russell St., Portland, OR, 97227-1731

I think a good story would be who are the people backing the second recall attempt. Did they vote for him in the first place or is it that they do not even live in the city of Portland.

It looks more to me like a pro big business group trying to get the guy out of office.
