We’ve received quite a few inquiries about the Chinatown tours this Saturday and Sunday. We have had to field questions ranging from “are the the tours free?” “can we just show up?” “can you put me on the wait list?” “can’t you make space for more?” and “will you run the tour again?”. The answer to all of the preceding questions is emphatically NO.

Both tours are sold out and filled to capacity. We are committed to keeping events small in scale. We believe people learn best in intimate groups. That is why we limit the size of the tours.

Due to the high demand for this trip, we have secured a venue to accommodate the general public for Dr. Wong’s lecture portion. Dr. Wong’s lecture will take place at:

UO White Stag building
70 NW Couch St
Saturday 5PM | Sunday 4PM
Attending the lecture is by donation

Our events cost money, time and resources to put on. We have to pay rent and insurance on our office, our local print shop to print our posters, web and e-mail programs, our guest lecturer to come from Seattle to speak and arrange accommodations. That is not to mention the sweat and dedication we put into researching, promoting and organizing these events. Compared to other tours, our trips are cheaper and without question, the information much more substantive. So until the major grants start rolling in, we have no choice but to try to price these tours as affordable as we can while raising the capital to make the project economically sustainable.

If you want to be sure to get a spot on tours, the best thing you can do is to join the club. Members receive great benefits including signing up for events before they become available to the general public. Want to make sure you get a spot to next month’s field trip? Then sign up and support the work that you believe in.
