WSSA President’s Reception All attendees invited 6:30pm to 8:00pm Mt Hood * ______

In 2012, the Western Social Science Association revitalized our organizational mission of service at the Annual Conference in Houston, by hosting a fund drive for a local charity. Conference attendees gave generously and we were extremely pleased to raise more than $2,100 for the Houston Food Bank. The following year(2013), in Denver, we were thrilled to raise even more, a total of $2,671 for the Food Bank of the Rockies, and last year (2014) we raised $2070 for Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico.

Your donation is tax deductible and receipts will be available at the donation table, along with information about hunger in Oregon and the types of programs offered by the food bank. The Oregon Food Bank Network (http://www.oregonfoodbank.org) is dedicated to eradicating food insecurity by helping individuals and their communities increase self-sufficiency and food security status. However, with unemployment rates and food, gas, and housing prices remaining high, demand for their services has increased. It has climbed 41% since the economic downturn in 2008. For the third year in a row, the Oregon Food Bank Network has distributed more than 1 million emergency food boxes in Oregon and Clark County, Washington. A typical emergency food box provides a three- to five-day supply of groceries. Those boxes provide meals for 270,000 people per month, 92,000 of which are children (34%). In addition, the food bank provided the resources to provide 3.9 million emergency meals at soup kitchens and shelters.

NEW ZEALAND and AUSTRALIA STUDIES

Dr. Brooking will be reading from his newest book: Richard Seddon, King of God's Own: The Life and Times of New SATURDAY Zealand's Longest-serving Prime Minister (Penguin Books 3:00 - 5:00pm NZ, August 2014).

Multnomah County Brooking is Professor in History at University of Otago, Central Library New Zealand. He specializes in New Zealand and comparative rural and environmental history.

Seddon fought to ensure privilege did not become entrenched in what he envisioned as a white man's utopia. In this perceptive new evaluation, historian Tom Brooking explains Seddon's complex relationship with Maori and shows how he in fact held a progressively bi-cultural vision for the future of "God's Own Country."

The reading will be in the "U.S. Bank Room" of Central Library, 801 S.W. 10th Ave., Portland (less than one mile from the conference hotel).
