Let’s be honest, not many of us are from Oregon originally. But nevertheless, we are Oregonians and proud of it. Some may even tell a little white lie and say they are native Oregonians, but most are, like me, from some place else and we are here because we love this state. We are here and remain here by choice, not by accident of birth.
In celebration of your adopted Oregonian status, the Molalla Pioneer is planning to publish your stories of how you got here, what you found here once you got here and why are have decided to stay. We want to hear from you Molalla, Colton and surrounding areas! Please email your story to me: jwilson@eaglenewspapers.com and try to keep it to 400 words or less and put "Why I am an Oregonian" in the subject. Please include your phone number in your email so we can call to verify that you actually wrote the letter. Don't worry, we won't include your phone number in the newspaper. We’ll be publishing them over the next few weeks in our Wednesday editions.
And please let us know if you are responding to this blog posting. We’re always trying to find out how many folks are reading our blog.
So what are you waiting for, tell us why you are here!
