Robin Cody, Portland, Oregon: Member since 2009. Award-winning author of Ricochet River and Voyage of a Summer Sun.
"Why? It's a mystery, isn't it? The more I probe the Columbia, the deeper it flows and the smaller I get. What, of our place, could be more worth keeping?"
Carol Newman, Brownsmead, OR: Member since 2000. Pillar of the Astoria area's creative set. Coast Community Radio Host and Dance Teacher.
"Columbia Riverkeeper came to a fledgling group of activists dealing with the threat of LNG terminals in our beloved Columbia River. They connected us with others and they never left! Ten years of nonstop, ubiquitous, brilliant, effective, inspiring, reliable expertise with integrity, great humor, clear communications, warmth, and friendship. Riverkeeper is family. I am very grateful!"
Heidi Logosz, Hood River, OR: Member since 2002. Sustainability Manager at Mt. Hood Meadows. Her husband, Tony, co-founded Slingshot Sports.
"I support Columbia Riverkeeper because they protect the Columbia River, a beloved treasure. Without their focused efforts, we could not help the river in a meaningful way. They organize the support of those willing to stand up for what they cherish. Since learning about Riverkeeper, I have supported their efforts and encouraged others to do the same."
Mary Lou Soscia, Portland, OR: Member since 2006. Columbia River Coordinator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10.
"I am so very proud to be a member of Columbia Riverkeeper. Riverkeeper has provided the visionary and grassroots leadership in advocating, protecting, and caring for the Columbia River. Thank goodness for the good people that work for Riverkeeper and the many members who have formed a community to protect this magnificent river ecosystem."
