Virtual Membership Meeting
Wednesday, May 20, 7:00-8:30 PM--via Zoom
(see our web site for registration information)
We have two guest speakers:
Scott Cohen from the Portland Bureau of Transportation will talk about a proposed redesign of the Greenway/Patton/Talbot intersection, and
Brian Stewart from Quiet Clean PDX, who will present their efforts to stop the use of gas-powered leaf blowers.
Importantly, this is the yearly meeting in which we elect Board Members. Do you care about the neighborhood, about transportation, our micro-parks, public safety, land use, history? We could use your energy and voice on the Board. Contact us at contact@swhrl.org.

If you would like to be notified of ongoing volunteer weeding efforts (proper social distancing observed), please email contact@swhrl.org to get on our email list.
