"Effective and powerful presentation" at City Club of Eugene for David W. Oaks Keynote Presentation

Jerry Diethelm, President of the City Club of Eugene, thanks David Oaks for being on a keynote panel with TC Dumas, PhD and mental health counselor Ron Unger, in Eugene, Oregon, on 15 January 2010, Martin Luther King's 81st birthday. Their panel linked up organizing for human rights in mental health, with the inspiration of the Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement.


I want to thank you again for your fine presentation at City Club on "Voice, Choice and Human Rights in Mental Health Care."

I've received many compliments on the program from City Club members. They appreciated the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King Jr. setting you provided and then the way you humanized that overview with your remarkable stories.

It was an effective and powerful connection and I want to wish you and your organization every success.

                    Sincerely,

                    Jerry Diethelm, President
                    City Club of Eugene
