Host International Students Learning English
Ashley Krant of Concordia University is requesting hosts for international students that are studying English at ELS Language Centers.
Each year, ELS contributes to the rich diversity of the neighborhoods surrounding Concordia by welcoming in students from all over the world. Our host families play a vital role in acquainting students to the area and helping them bring memories of Portland back home!
Host families provide breakfast and dinner, a private bedroom, the opportunity for students to speak English, support, and insight into American culture. Families are compensated with a stipend for increased food and utility costs.

Meeting to Plan the CNA Spring Clean-Up
Spring is right around the corner and that means spring cleaning may be taking place in your home, basement or garage. Volunteers from Concordia coordinate the annual “Spring Clean-up” event where residents can drop-off unwanted items for reuse and recycling. Last year we held an auction allowing neighbors to take, swap or buy items immediately.
We are looking for volunteers to make this year’s cleanup a success. Our first meeting is:
March 6th at 7pm
Please Contact Katie Ugolini at 503-449-9690 for location.
