Governor Wishes Oregon Families a Safe and Happy Holiday

The Governor also wants to remind everyone to remember those men and
women serving overseas and the less fortunate

 

Salem- Governor Kulongoski wished all Oregonians a happy Thanksgiving
holiday today and encouraged everybody to remember those serving
overseas and the less fortunate who may not have a Thanksgiving meal. 

 

"Thanksgiving is a time for friends and family and I wish everyone an
enjoyable holiday," said Governor Kulongoski. "I also want to remind
Oregonians to please remember the men and women serving overseas that
cannot be with their families and those who are struggling with putting
food on the table this year."

 

People wishing to help the less fortunate can donate to the Oregon Food
Bank. More information about how to donate to the Oregon Food Bank can
be found at: www.oregonfoodbank.org.

 

While remembering the less fortunate, the Governor also wants to remind
everyone to travel safe on the crowded roadways. 

 

"With increased traffic on Oregon roads during the holiday, I hope
everyone will wear their seatbelts and use extra caution as they travel
to the homes of their loved ones," said Governor Kulongoski.
