SUMMER IS IN FULL SWING  and that means preparing for Bridlemile's National Night Out on August 2nd. The Bridlemile Foundation will be selling hot dogs as a fundraiser if you decide not to bring a picnic. Don't forget to bring a dessert for the potluck to share with your neighbors. Dairy Hill is providing ice cream for everyone to enjoy and The Beat Goes On will be playing for everyone in attendance. Look for a postcard in your mailbox later this month as a reminder!

NO SUMMER MEETINGS! T here are no regularly scheduled Board or General meetings in July and August. Both meetings will resume in September. The Board meeting is the first Wednesday of each month and the General meeting is the second Wednesday, both meetings begin at 7pm in the Faculty Lounge of Bridlemile Elementary School.

SAVE THE DATE!  August is a busy month, beyond National Night Out. On August 26th in Hamilton Park, by the soccer fields, there is a Movie in the Park where Pirates of the Caribbean and the Curse of the Black Pearl will be shown starting at dusk with live entertainment by Echoes of Yasgurs preceding the movie.

THANK OUR SPONSORS!  Movie Night in Hamilton Park is brought you you by our sponsors Meridian Trust Real Estate Services, Inc. and Sweet Pickles Designs. Both of these local companies have provided the support for this year's Movie Night.

BRIDLEMILE'S SUMMER EVENTS  are a great time for celebration, family entertainment, and meeting neighbors! Help us plan and prepare for National Night Out, August 2nd and Movie Night in Hamilton Park, August 26th. Please e-mail [email protected] if you are able to volunteer to assist with either of these community events.

RESIDENTIAL INFILL FEEDBACK is still needed. Conceptual maps  have now been released by the city showing the areas that could be impacted by this proposed change in policy. Bridlemile is impacted by this as the impact areas are 1/4 mile from all Corridors and Centers. All lots within 1/4 mile of Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy would be impacted by this proposed zoning shift. There are still opportunities to learn more about this project at open houses or by reading the materials online and sending your feedback online. Everything about infill can be found here.

DECONSTRUCTION OF OLDER HOMES. In response to concerns of asbestos, lead, and other harmful materials getting into the air and soil a letter was sent to City Council from Southwest Neighborhoods emphasizing the need to deconstruct houses that are between 50 and 100 years old as these structures also have useful materials that can be reused in future construction. For the full text of this motion please see the third page of this document (motion is in bold text). This is coming before the council on July 6th.
