Time 5:00 PM at the Hope’s 2606 SE 58th (one block south of Bothmer Hall). Meeting and potluck with the members of Western Regional Council, followed at 6:30 PM by a talk about Nicodemus by Linda Connell. The lecture will be moved to Bothmer if we have an overflow crowd.

Who is Nicodemus, who “came to Jesus by night?” What was his role in the Easter events, and what became of him afterwards? Nicodemus was just one of the many significant personalities surrounding the Christ at his Crucifixion. Linda Connell will share what is known about this mysterious figure from scholarly sources in the light of the work of Rudolf Steiner.

A new Branch Council will be elected. All members of the Portland Branch (who must also be members of the Anthroposophical Society) may vote. Election will be held at the monthly Branch Council meeting: 7PM – 8PM at the home Chrystal Godleske, 2327 SE 85th Avenue, Portland, OR 97216. 503-816-2440. All Branch members are welcome to attend.

Anyone who has an interest in a position on the Council should contact Tom Klein, to submit their name and a short-bio or statement of interest. We would really like to have these returned by August 30th. Anyone may also nominate another member for a position but PLEASE discuss this with the nominee first. Tom can be reached by email at tgklein@aol.com, or in writing at, 3609 SE Center Street Portland, OR 97202.
