Alan on Pipes

2nd Annual Scottish Heritage Month Celebration
Salem Public Library
585 Liberty St SE
Salem, OR

Didn't plan for this week's photo theme to be so culturally tilted (Mon - Native American, Thu - Scottish), it's just how a few of Salem's events coordinated with my schedule. I just read in the newspaper that a celebration commemorating the Vietnamese New Year is scheduled for Saturday. I think I'll stop by...I haven't been to Asia this week yet.

Bagpiper's March

Alzheimer's Network of Oregon's "Walk to Remember"

Riverfront Park

Salem, OR

Today Salem hosted two walks for causes: Discover Pink Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness and The Walk to Remember for Oregon's Alzheimer's Network. Because of my work schedule I was only able to participate and photograph The Walk to Remember. Hundreds of "walkers" attended and marched behind the bagpipers to raise money for Alzheimer's Network of Oregon, a non-profit organization in Salem.
