Re: Speaker Fees

Hope this doesn't offend anyone but a former Portland mayo, Bud Clark,  was featured in a great poster that raised funds for the arts. He wore a raincoat that was held open as he faced a statue of a woman. Shot from the back, the title was "Expose Yourself To Art". Sold like hotcakes but I think we're too priggish today for it to be a success.
We have been forced to turn down most of the seemingly endless new donation requests, it is too overwhelming these days.
