City Funds dedicated to support the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and its support for 12 inner N/NE neighborhoods are in jeopardy!
Let’s demonstrate how we work together and show strong support for the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and the 12 neighborhoods we work with: Alameda, Boise, Concordia, Eliot, Grant Park, Humboldt, Irvington, King, Sabin, Sullivan’s Gulch, Vernon and Woodlawn!
You can help by emailing letters of support of the “Right Budget for ONI (Office of Neighborhood Involvement)” to the Mayor and Commissioners this week (and no later than March 30, 2009).
Email, phone calls or letters indicating support for “The Right Budget” for ONI will be of tremendous help. We have provided you a draft letter to get you started.
Please send your email in this week if at all possible, by Friday, March 20, 2009 and no later than the end of March!
Hi everyone,
The first organizational meeting for the King Spring Clean Up will be next Thursday, March 19th, 6:00PM, at the NECN offices (4815 NE 7th, behind King School). We’ll meet to discuss budget, timing and location. Please come with your ideas and inspirations! Let’s get King sparkling for Spring.

As the bad economy drives a resurgence of crime and gang activities in Portland, we want to know how the Neighborhood Associations and the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods can help. Questions posed at the last NECN Board Meeting:
1. What are your definitions of a safe place to live?
2. What are the steps we – as neighbors and neighborhood groups – can take to prevent or solve these issues (block watches, weekly trash pick-ups, etc)?
If you have a minute, join the dialog on neighborhood safety by answering these questions.
Thanks,
Charles
