Gateway Green Design Workshop
Wed Oct 2 - 4:00 to 7:00 pm.

1111 NE 102nd Ave, Suite F
(in the same building as the Gateway Fred Meyer)

The design workshop will be held at the Gateway EcoDistrict Office in the Gateway Shopping Center. The address is 1111 NE 102nd Ave, Suite F, which is a store front office just to the left (south) of the main entrance to the Gateway Fred Meyer -- on the 102nd Avenue side of the building.

The Gateway Green Design Team and some Portland Parks staff will all be there, and most of the Friends of Gateway Green Board members.

They'll have maps and aerial photos of the Gateway Green site showing the concept plans developed earlier. There will also be lots of visuals showing more specific features that might be included in the park when developed -- and an opportunity for you to indicate which ones you prefer. Attendees will be encouraged to share any other ideas they have as well.

The format is set up so participants don't need to be there the whole time -- and they won't have to sit through a long, boring presentation either. Light refreshments will be provided.

Please join us for this important planning event -- and tell your friends about it, too.

-- Linda

NOTE: The Build Gateway Green crowd funding campaign ends in just a few more days. If you haven't made your contribution yet, this would be a good time to do it. The campaign has raised more than $60,000 so far. And Kaiser Permanente gave us a check, on Friday, for another $10,000. [We've been told it's one of the most successful Indiegogo campaigns.]

Please help us reach our goal of $100,000 by October 7th.

The attached flyer also includes information about a NO Ivy Day Work Party at the Gateway Green site on Saturday, October 5, 9:00 am til Noon.
