New fact-finding panel will explore ways to help Oregonians increase retirement savings

Ahh Saturday. It’s arguably the best day of the week. I mean, for the most part, you get to sleep in. Do whatever you like. And not have to worry about waking up early for work the next morning. It is the backbone of the weekend. That one special day of the week that encompasses exciting promises and adventurous plans. But, for as amazing as it is, there does exist one problem with Saturday; it’s one day. You can only do so much, or go so many places in 24 hours. But a small group of individuals wanting to make a local impact thought about this. They thought about just how great it would be if, just for once, you could do all the things that you love to do on Saturday—shopping, wine tasting, watching shows—all in one day. And even better, by participating, you would help make a difference in the lives of families all across Portland.
