<br>Oregon State Senator Vicki Walker will be visiting the Willamettans at their August 20 General Assembly meeting. You 05 remember Vicki from her recent exploratory campaign for Oregon Governor or you might remember Vicki from her two previous visits to the Willamettans. Vicki has been clear that she is committed towards our right to enjoy and appreciate nude recreation.

In 2002, voters in Lane County elected her to the Oregon State Senate.
