At its start, the mission of Portland Branch was to provide a place where women with college degrees could socialize, and to raise money for a scholarship to support a high school girl to go to the state university. Today, it remains fundamentally the same: to provide opportunities to meet and make friends, and to support our local colleges and the community. We invite you to join us!
