Tomorrow, Saturday, it will be official.

The election is just 30 days away.

Yikes!

It’s a run-and-gun game now. We have so few days to get the information out to people. So on Monday, the president, a board member and I will sit down with The Oregonian’s editorial board to explain the needs and the solutions that led us to this bond measure.

The president also will speak to staff, faculty, students and neighbors at the Cascade Campus at noon that day, in Room 112 of Terrell Hall, and at the Sylvania campus at 5 p.m. in Room 101 of the Science and Technology Building.

Yesterday, my cohort in crime, James Hill, and I shot a bond video with the president in the morning. We had a bond presentation at the Portland Metro Workforce Development center in the early afternoon, and the editorial board of The Mercury later in the afternoon. And it’s going to be that hectic from now to the rest of the run.

Which, again, is one month out.

If the adrenaline and caffeine don’t see us through, we can always fall back on blind panic.
