SE Sustainability Network Event

[Tim]

Hello All,

I feel like it's time we all got together to check in on our progress,
and plans for the next year. There's seemingly no end of activity
around making Portland a more sustainable place and I think it's
important for us to periodically talk about the role of neighborhood
sustainability committees, and other community-based groups, in the
effort.

Please join me on Tuesday, January 26th, from 6:30-8:30 to discuss the
exciting projects that have taken off and let's brainstorm what might
happen in the future. Following a presentation from Steve Johnson to
get us started (see below), there will be updates about the SE
Portland Tool Lending Library, various Transition Neighborhood groups,
and Solarize Portland. There will be time for everyone to share about
their projects or ideas.

Well, crap. Would love to come, but our own sustainability committee
meeting conflicts with this! I hope someone takes good notes!

Thank you - I plan on attending - only issue is the previous night - Monday, we have our Neighbor Assoc Board mtg - so I may have to leave this mtg early - time commitments for the week.

 

On that note - do most Neighborhood Assoc have separate Board & General mtgs on different nights in the month - or do they combine them?

 

Thanks Tim for organizing!

Liz

Hi Liz and fellow Sustainability and Neighborhood people.

My name is Steve Couche, and I am working with a great team of people to open up a SE Portland Tool Library.  We are moving right along, and my guess is that most of you have maybe heard or read about it.  The reason I am writing this is that I and my team are really focusing on getting the word out about the SEPTL.  We'd like to come to one of your neighborhood Association Meetings and give a brief presentation.  If you are interested please give me a  response to this email.  All it would take is about 15 minutes, and I will have brochures, and it seems like we are updating info almost daily.  Check out our website (still growing but informative) at www.septl.org.

Thanks and I will be at the Sustainability Meeting on the 26th at SE Uplift.

Hi Phil,

I'd be glad to.  So when would SMILE want me to do a little talk and answer any questions?
