Portland’s Rain of Glass (PROG) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), educational membership organization that was started in 1978 to inform and educate individuals who have an interest in collectible glass. Every meeting, we have a time set aside to help with glass identification. Our extensive library of reference books is available to our members. We have several public glass displays each year and we have seminars and classes to educate our members and the community at large. PROG is Oregon’s oldest and largest Depression and Elegant Glassware organization.
We have monthly meetings (except August) at the Friendship Masonic Center located at 5626 NE Alameda Street in Portland. Look for the bronze statue of George Washington at the corners of NE Alameda Street, NE 57th Avenue and NE Sandy Boulevard in the Hollywood District.
