FREE Naturescaping Workshop, Sunday May 5th Kennedy School Community Room

Posted on by Posted in Archive, Events, Land Use & Transportation, Trees

Naturescaping is the practice of designing (or redesigning) your landscape so that it reduces water use and decreases stormwater runoff while saving you time, money and energy. This introductory workshop introduces the core concepts of naturescaping, and also explores:

  • pollution prevention through the reduction/elimination of chemical use
  • how native plants naturally resist pests & tolerate drought conditions while attracting native birds, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators to your garden
  • basic site planning principals, and many other great natural gardening & design tips

At this Year’s Holiday Party, we will be collecting Cans of Food for the Oregon Food Bank and clothing donations for the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon’s (EMO) HIV Day Center.

The Oregon Food Bank helps nearly one in five households fend off hunger by
distributing food through a variety of sources through a statewide network. Their
local programs provide food directly to people who are hungry in the form of
boxes of food for people to take home or prepared meals. The Oregon Food Bank
Network serves an average of 270,000 people each month.

The HIV Day Center is a non-denominational project of the EMO and is housed
at the Ainsworth United Church of Christ located at NE 30th Avenue and
Ainsworth Blvd. This center provides over 700 meals each month to low income
people dealing with HIV in addition to providing counseling, clothing, showers,
recreational therapy, access to computers & phones, and mutual support.

The CNA encourages neighbors to bring one or more of the following items to the Holiday Party to donate:

  • Warm Coats & Jackets in good condition, particularly for men, for the HIV Day Center.
  • Cans of Food for the Oregon Food Bank

Land Use and Transportation Meeting, Tuesday September 18th

Posted on by Posted in Archive, Events, Land Use & Transportation

This month’s meeting will concentrate on meeting the new owner of the White Church at 23rd and Sumner. After earlier hearing from a basketball group and a yoga program, both of whom couldn’t get the financing apparently, we will finally hear from Cerimon House who is definitely purchasing the building and wrapping up the City’s approval process by mid-October. They plan to open a variety of community-oriented programs and activities that they describe as “creating settings for artistic expression and education and fostering an environment for non-denominational ceremonies and celebrations.” All of these are supposed to be “walk-to” events that won’t require neighborhood parking problems. Come to hear what they plan and to ask questions.

We will also talk about the City’s response to noise problems associated with the church at 7015 NE 23rd that has festered for years and about the coal train response from the forum at NECN in late August.

Hope that you can attend. We will limit the meeting to one hour or less.
