For the 76Th Annual Ducks Unlimited National Convention GuideGuide BookBook for the 76th ANNUAL DUCKS UNLIMITED NATIONAL CONVENTION – 2013 – ©Travel Portland Welcome to Portland Fun Facts about Portland Portland has the smallest city park, Mill End Park, inside the city limits of any city in this country. It is 2.5 feet in diameter. It is illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon. The city was almost named Boston, but after a coin toss between Francis Pettygrove, a man from Portland, Maine and Asa Lovejoy, from Boston, Massachusetts, the city was named Portland.

The temperature ranges in the mid to high 40s at night, and mid to high 60s during the day. Drizzling rain is common so be sure to pack a rain jacket. Portland is a city that begs to be explored, and this year’s agenda offers extra time for activities and scheduled tours. It features some exciting events to help us see the sights and enjoy the Pacific Northwest. WEDNESDAY is packed with an array of activities – from tours to our opening social. Sightseers will enjoy Portland’s intimate city, spectacular views, and breath- taking scenery. Attire should be comfortable with a light jacket and shoes appropriate for your outdoor adventures. Dress as a Portlander Wednesday evening, as you party with your DU family to kick off convention. Portland is dubbed the “microbrew capital of the world,” so bring your appetite as we indulge in the tastes of Portland with its tavern food and microbrews. Save room for dessert as it is a Portland must have. THURSDAY evening will have you in stitches. Before the entertainment begins, we’ll have drinks and dinner at the Hilton Portland. Dress is casual and comfortable. FRIDAY begins with the Duck Hunters’ Breakfast, fol- lowed by an all-day business meeting including lunch and afternoon session. Join us for cocktail hour prior to head- ing out on the town for dinner with your friends. Dress for the day is business casual. To allow time to experience the great northwest, we’ve adjusted the agenda for Saturday. The morning and after- noon are open for leisure activities or scheduled tours. The reception and gala are still SATURDAY evening as the fea- tured event for the 76th Annual Convention. Ladies, feel free to dress to impress or wear your Sunday best. Gentle- men, a suit or sport coat and tie are appropriate. The complete convention program with more details is included later in this booklet. 2 IDENTIFICATION Your personalized name badge is an important item during convention week. It tells everyone who you are, gives you a handy schedule of activities on the back of the badge, and directs you where to load the buses for offsite events during convention.

This year’s eighth annual event is setting a new record for support from Portland’s culinary community, with more involved eateries than ever before. Restaurants in Portland, Lake Oswego, and Beaverton have pledged 10-25% of their profits to aid the agency’s life-saving domestic violence shelter and prevention programs. Many beloved restaurants are involved, including Mother’s Bistro & Bar, Ruby Jewel, Pip’s Original Doughnuts & Chai, Quaintrelle, The Country Cat, Radar Restaurant, Acadia Bistro, Farm Spirit, Altabira City Tavern, Hale Pele, Nel Centro, Fifty Licks, Pacific Pie, Ya Hala, and more.

For community members, “Restaurants for Raphael House” offers a simple and delicious way to support local businesses and help fund vital services for families seeking safety. Getting involved is as easy as dining at any participating eatery. For participating restaurants, this is an opportunity to show their commitment to Raphael House’s mission of someday ending domestic violence. As Michelle Glass of Nel Centro shared, “fighting domestic violence takes all of us working together to support organizations like Raphael House.” The choice to be involved is a personal one for GiGi’s Café owner Charlene Wesler.
