February 6, 2008
And congratulations to Shelley Clark!
The Wells Fargo Celebrity Spelling Bee held on Thursday, January 31st raised a total of $189,000 in vital funding for Schoolhouse Supplies, the award-winning Free Store for teachers in Portland. More than 500 guests gathered to watch Mayor Potter, James Jones, Stephanie Stricklen and other Portland celebrities spell their way to the top. All participants gave it a great effort, but it was 14-year-old Shelley Clark, the ’06 and ’07 Portland Tribune/Comcast Regional Spelling Bee Champion, that out-spelled Stephanie Schneiderman of Dirty Martini with the winning word “eupepsia” and took home the championship trophy.
