Aurora, Oregon Gets National Attention

What’s being called the ‘100 Strong’ program is rooted in the history of Aurora, Oregon, an early colony committed to the concept of helping others.

Aurora was founded on the working example of “love your neighbor as yourself,” and that success drives the ‘100 Strong’ program today. It is now a goal to bring the program to communities all around Oregon. TV host Doug Llewelyn formerly of “The People’s Court” fame interviews two key participants in Aurora Oregon’s ‘100 Strong’ campaign.
