Annual ReportJuly 1, 2020-June 30, 2021

We Oregonians love our Capitol! I remember

the first time I walked into the Capitol and was awe-struck! That feeling has never left me. I always get a tingling sensation whenever I enter the Capitol. There is so much history and it is a place of beauty that goes beyond mere words. The work that takes place there affects the lives of everyone who lives in the great state of Oregon. The Capitol is truly beloved.It's important for us to know and understand our history. Bringing these stories to life reinforces that people like you and me can enrich Oregon's future. The rich and diverse history unfolding inside

the walls of the Capitol and the importance of engaging Oregonians in our democracy inspires the Foundation’s volunteer board. Thanks to our generous donors and the earned income from Pacific Wonderland license plate sales, we have been able to complete our largest project to date — the Oregon Capitol Welcome Center! The efforts of the Capitol Visitor Services staff have been invaluable in working to develop and execute its programming. Together with community partners, Visitor Services staff also implements creative ways to celebrate the shared heritage of

Oregonians.

Remember when…A historic Capitol moment captured on film."The photo was stimulated by the oft used remark in the halls of the State Capitol that 'the Senate Republican caucus is so small they could meet in a phone booth.' Our leader, Sen. Vic Atiyeh said, 'Let's take a picture of our team meeting in a phone booth.' The six senators all had many years of public service. Vic Atiyeh became Governor, Bob Smith served in the US Congress and Wally Carson served as Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. Ken Jernstedt, a WWII fighter pilot and member of the Flying Tigers, later served as Mayor of Hood River."— Former Oregon State Treasurer Tony Meeker

Visit the Oregon State Capitol to see this photo used in a special exhibit in the phone booths on the second floor between the Governor's Ceremonial Office and the Senate Chamber.

Pictured: Oregon State Senate Republicans Tony Meeker (top left), Vic Atiyeh (bottom left), Ken Jernstedt (front center), George Wingard (top right), Bob Smith (middle right), and Wally Carson (bottom right) in phone booths located in the rear of the Oregon Senate Chambers, 1977.
