Keeping $$ in the Neighborhood
Rolling out the green carpet on MLK Blvd
VNA Minutes
Extreme Makeover for Vernon Elementary

Larry Holmes of Land Use
Condo at 20th and Alberta has submitted no plans. No permits have been issued. Killingsworth and 14th to 17th was zoned residential for 25 years, leaving the business’s unable to expand or make improvements. After six months of attending meetings we have a commitment of city planner. This means that these businesses will be able to expand and have options they don’t have now, and vacant lots can be developed. PDOT has recognize the Killingsworth corridor and will be looking at the transportation issues: side walk bump outs, safety issues, cross walks etc.
Nell re: Directory Outreach
Nell handed out fliers “Keeping $$ in the neighborhood” and clipboard with a sign up sheet. (We filled it right up!) She explained that this was so we could know what services were available within the neighborhood.
Larry re: Clean Up
June 2nd in the Redeemer Parking lot. Motion made by Larry that 10% of proceeds to go the church. We are very grateful to be able to use Enterbeing for our meetings and passed the vote based on the many other contributions they offer our neighborhood.

It’s always nice to have the Police drop in. Officer Mark Piombo stopped by and was available for Questions and answers. Interesting questions come up and always good to know the “street” news! Much appreciated!

Planned Parenthood As you may have heard, Planned Parenthood of the Columbia/Willamette is seeking to purchase a PDC-owned lot on MLK Blvd for a new Regional Service Center and N/NE Portland Health Center.


Next board meeting is May 2nd, Wed. evening @ 7:00 @ Lindy and Oma’s
Next general meeting is May 8th, Tuesday @ 7:00 p.m. @ Enterbeing
