Northeast Village PDX Coming Events
|
Wednesday, June 8 - Last General Meeting potluck
As our Village prepares to transition from the development phase to an operating village, our calendar will include fewer meetings and more events of a social and educational nature. Our meetings on the second Wednesday of each month will end with the meeting on June 8th.
There will be other meetings called for members and others involved in the village, but no regular monthly meeting. For the potluck, bring a main dish, salad or dessert, your choice. Plates, utensils and iced tea and coffee will be provided.
On June 8th we will gather to share a meal and talk about plans for the summer months. Several outings and events have been planned for the month of June, with others to follow in July and August. We will provide more detail when we unveil the calendar of activities on June 8th.
While a few events have been planned, there will be an opportunity for you to make suggestions and to volunteer your leadership for an event. Come to the potluck to find out what's happening and how you can get on board.
Recruitment of charter members begins July 1. Volunteer recruitment has already begun and will continue throughout the summer. Recruitment of all members begins officially on August 1. Interviews of members and volunteers, orientation and training will begin in July and be ongoing. We will provide more specifics about recruitment on June 8th

With our colorful and informative brochure and poster in hand, members of our marketing/outreach committee are gearing up for lots of ways to promote Northeast Village PDX in the coming months.
We'll be seeking window display space at neighborhood businesses and service providers, participating in summer street fairs, and offering Village 101 sessions. If you know of a business or service provider with clientele likely to be interested in the village, please contact Jane Braunger to get a poster for display there. Also contact Jane if you can host a Village 101 for friends and neighbors. Her e-mail is
janebraunger@gmail.com.
