1000 Friends of Oregon has new format planned for the Annual Tom McCall Legacy Gala

1000 Friends of Oregon, one of state's leading conservation groups, is putting a twist on their annual fundraiser event.

The 2011 Tom McCall Legacy Gala will feature "stations of innovation", displaying the work of Oregonians who are helping to keep this region a great place to live. In contrast with last year's formal sit-down dinner, this event will allow attendees and organizers to mingle and engage with one another.

Living Culture TV will occupy one of the stations associated with food and agriculture.

The event will be held on March 26th from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Leftbank Annex in Portland. Tickets are $75 per person.
