• The King NA congratulates the Portland Playhouse on winning its land use appeal to begin staging plays at 602 NE Prescott again, and will work with the Playhouse to ensure that patron parking is not disruptive to nearby neighbors of the Playhouse building.

• KNA’s board voted unanimously to oppose construction of a 7-11 store at the empty lot at MLK & NE Sumner.  Residents near that lot agreed to help KNA take on opposing the building of the store, and a variety of approaches and possible allies were discussed. In particular, King NA will bring the issue to the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhood’s Land Use & Transportation Committee to draw on the expertise of its members and to seek alliance with other neighborhoods.
• The KNA voted to postpone board elections scheduled for May until September, while changes to the association’s by-laws are pondered.

• KNA voted to endorse a neighborhood egg hunt on April 8th at Two Plum Park, and to approve up to seventy-five dollars in expenditures.

• Van Bogner reported that plans for the planting of trees and plants at the King School grounds continues, with a planned planting day on Earth Day, April 22nd. A grant of $1500 for plants is in hand, and organizers will seek donations from Friends of Trees as well.

• Brian Weaver reported that the King Neighborhood clean-up is on track for May 19th, at the North Precinct parking lot. KNA approved $745 up-front expenditures, with expectations that most of this will be reimbursed by the city, and that the event will be profitable. No discussion of possible uses for profits from the event occured.

• KNA decided to forgo organizing a coördinated neighborhood garage sale this year.

• KNA will be holding a Soil to Soul food security planning/organizing meeting on March 31st, at 4:30 pm at the Tin Shed. This will be the kick-off of our plans to help facilitate food security efforts for our King neighbors.

• The NA has communications funds from the city, and will hold a session next week among board members to plan some communications and outreach efforts in the coming spring months.

Thanks to everyone who came with energy and ideas last night, as well as to mieke at Tula Bakery for nourishing us with goodies from the bakery. We appreciate everything that so many folks are doing for our neighborhood!
