Next Saturday, April 25th, from 10 to 1 pm

A bit of rain won’t deter any good Portlander, especially when there is free good coffee and donuts. Plus you get to shovel some dirt and mulch to feel less guilty about that extra donut that you shouldn’t have eaten.

Thanks to East Multnomah Water and Soil Conservation District, North East Coalition of Neighborhoods, King Neighborhood association, King School PTA  and Groundworks, the Green King Project is organizing this awesome community event to honor our Mother Earth.

Get to enjoy the fun and the good feeling that comes from changing some ugly neglected areas into beautiful green areas. Don’t miss this opportunity to help out your community, meet your neighbors, do some healthy exercise.  Please RSVP if you can. Location is at King School 4906 NE 6th | Portland, OR 97211 Parking is available in the parking lot in NE 7th and Wygant. We will be meeting close to the playground.

Join Green King and get updates of the event at https://www.facebook.com/greenkingprojec or email diego@kingneighborhood.org from Green King if you have any questions.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is “What are you doing for others?”

Free Street Fair?

Posted on by

We don’t know who thought up the Free Street Fair, or put up these fliers in the neighborhood, but we’re intrigued to see what our neighbors turn out this Saturday.

On another topic, there’s no rain in the forecast for the weekend, so if you find yourself with some free time and want to help out the King NA with some canvassing, we have brochures and fliers for our upcoming clean-up and neighborhood garage sale that we’d love your help distributing. We’re looking forward to getting out in the sunshine and saying hi to our neighbors along the way!

You can join us by stopping by our meeting on Saturday morning, between 10 and 11 at Reflections Coffeeshop (446 NE Killingsworth), or by emailing us, or giving Alan a call at 503-880-6848.

King Neighborhood Chairman Resigns

Posted on by

Scott Breon, King Neigborhood Chair, has resigned effective August 11. This leaves the KNA board without executive leadership since the Co-Chair position has been vacant since this May’s election when Trace Salmon resigned and Scott was elected to fill the vacant Chair position.

Trace resigned to focus on his roles as King School Site Council Chair and PTA Treasurer, coordinating with the new principal and the school’s continuing transformation and International Baccalaureate adoption. Trace was filling in for Chair Charles Boardman who resigned to return to medical school. Scott has resigned to dedicate his full energies to his search for employment after his employer was taken over by another company.

While the KNA bylaws state that only current board members of at least a year can serve as Chair, the Co-chair is not so restricted and if filled, will act as Chair. Interim appointments must be made by the KNA board. Interested parties are encouraged to attend the next meeting or contact the Association at info@kingneighborhood.org or call the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods.
