Benton-Linn Chapter:

The board had lively discussions with the public about our positions on this November's ballot measures while tabling at the Corvallis Fall Festival in September. The board is in the midst of recruiting members to serve on the board. Call the Eugene office for details on how to be more active protecting civil liberties in this part of Oregon.
