IAFI’s Lower Columbia Chapter serves the Willamette Valley and lower Columbia River

The Lower Columbia Chapter hosts lectures on the third Thursday of each month except in August and December when we do not meet. Since the pandemic we’ve held the meetings via Zoom. In 2020 we started recording our Zoom lectures and uploading them to the IAFI YouTube channel. If you can’t make it to a lecture, we generally have the video uploaded to YouTube in the next week. We welcome you to visit our channel and browse the videos there!

Before (and after?) the pandemic, Meetings (except September) are held at the Tualatin Heritage Center, 8700 SW Sweek Drive, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.  The September meeting is held at the Tualatin Library..

Chapter News – KGW TV in Portland recently carried a story on it’s “Grant’s Getaways” show entitled “Oregon’s Erratic Rocks.” The segment features Rick Thompson of the Lower Columbia chapter and looks at how erratic rocks found in the Willamette Valley are remnants of the Lake Missoula floods.
