We have three guest speakers for the meeting this Tuesday evening (March 20) of the Sumner Association of Neighbors (SAN) in NE Portland. We will be joined by State Representative Mary Nolan and local business owner Bruce Altizer, who are candidates for Portland City Council, Position #1.
In a late addition, incumbent Position #1 City Commissioner Amanda Fritz, who is seeking re-election, but had a prior engagement on this date will join us during the pre-meeting social time (which starts at 6:30 PM) and the very first part of the meeting until 7:15 PM.
A fourth candidate for Position #1, Teressa Raiford, was also invited to attend.
The meeting starts at 7 PM in the CNN conference room, 4415 NE 87th Ave (map). Social time (with light refreshments) starts at 6:30 PM.
Other topics include:
- Two volunteers needed for an ad hoc ‘blue ribbon’ committee we’re seating to review and propose revisions to our bylaws (287K PDF file)
- Updates about litter patrol, graffiti grant, WTS, community garden, SAN lot ‘adopt a highway,’ Sandy sidewalk project. In other words, all your favorites.
- Upcoming events: Litter patrol on March 31; Newsletters in late April; Neighborhood Clean-up on Saturday, May 19, at Helensview; Neighborhood garage sale on Saturday, June 2 (sign up now); SAN board elections (no date set)
