A big thank you to all of those who joined us for our April meeting with City Councilor Sameer Kanal! As the King Neighborhood Association is getting started again, we appreciate your support!
We’re still in the process of updating our website and reactivating our social media. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to see you at our May meeting.
Due to some issues getting access to the KNA blog restored, we will not be meeting on our normal first Tuesday of the month in December, but will be meeting instead on Wednesday, December 13th. Also the January meeting will be pushed off for one week in January, to January 9th, due to proximity to the New Years Day holiday.
Please join us for the December meeting of the King Neighborhood Association. Find out what’s going on in King Neighborhood, meet your neighbors, talk about current issues, and find out about volunteer opportunities. — This will be a virtual-only meeting. We will not be meeting at the NECN offices in December. There were some access issues for the November meeting; so agenda items from November will be pushed to December 13th.

Martina Steinkusz is moving on from her role as Acting Chair of the KNA, a role she took on when the previous chair retried prior to the pandemic. Martina has been a steadfast advocate of the King Neighborhood and green energy projects, and was a fantastic chair; she will be missed. However, Martina and her family are leaving Portland for her new home in Washington County. It’s not so far that she will be a total stranger to us, and we hope to see her again on occasion. Let’s everyone thank Martina for her hard work in organizing, administration, grant writing, and running the KNA, both in front and behind the scenes.
In the category of almost-in-King Neighborhood, this weekend there will be showings of The Nitemare B4 XMAS at the Alberta Rose Theatre, 3000 NE Alberta Street, with shows on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. See link for more information and to get tickets.
