Good in the Hood Music Festival
Vernon Neighborhood Association April 10th minutes
School Board Candidates On Health Care Reform
Announcements . . . Lindy
Sign up clipboards for volunteers for the June 2 clean-up from 9a.m. to-12 noon.
Announcements of 8th Annual Alberta Street Art Hop is May 19th were passed out.
Shared the Boise Newsletter and talked of possibly doing that someday.
Meeting at Arcadia Ballroom night before (May 14th) concerning the incident on Alberta’s Last Thursday. Disrespect from youth toward Police was clear to see. Lots of booze. Lots of trash. Not enough cops. Discussion included stepping up warnings with tickets to follow if you are drinking openly on the streets. Closing the street makes it too hard on residence and is a very complicated issue. Mary Tomkins is the person suggested to set up and attend workshops that train the people who would wear vests and help security.
Importantly, NECN is going to resurrect it's Public Safety Committee
to start working on the crime spree we've seen on Alberta, and around
the NE. We should have someone interested in that being the contact person for VNA. Is someone interested? Contact us @ 503 284-4316
The Good in the Hood event is June 23. We have been asked to supply a Vernon Neighborhood table for the day. We have a table and brochures to hand out, but do not have anyone to “man” the table.
Every Last Thursday at the Tin Shed they are throwing a benefit concert, collecting suggested donations and giving the money to folks who need it.
In May, a band of 12 year olds (the hats) are playing a show. The tin Shed let’s the kids pick the charity, so of course, those chose the Portland School of Rock! Makes sense. Emily Post, an all female vocal group will be headlining that night.
Andrew Idsinga for the Ivy School Design Committee spoke to us about a
Free Monissorri school opening in the N.E in a few years. Letter of support is appreciated.
Next board meeting is June 6th, Wed. evening @ 7:00 @ Lindy and Oma’s
Next general meeting is, June 12th, Tuesday @ 7:00 p.m. @ Enterbeing
