Clean Air meeting, via Zoom, October 26th, 6-8pm
Arbor Lodge NA is trying to re-create a Clean Air Committee. The new Chair, Bob Meehan, will be out of town for this important meeting. If you are interested, please reply to board@arborlodgeneighborhood.com and we'll provide you with the link and some background info. Here is a little info to help you decide. Even though these sites are not in Arbor Lodge, they can impact the air here too. Thanks for considering.
On 10/26/21, Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and North Portland Neighborhood Services will host a public meeting to address the concerns about air toxics and health risks from four North and Northeast Portland Industrial Facilities. These industrial sites are currently in evaluation by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) through the Cleaner Air Oregon Program. Clustered along the North edge of Portland, along the Columbia River, the sites are located in three neighborhoods: Cully, Kenton, and St. Johns.

A Focus Group is forming for the Arbor Lodge Shelter
Hello fellow community members!
A focus group for the design of the Arbor Lodge Shelter (at the former Rite Aid Site) is forming!
The Joint Office of Homeless Services, Multnomah County, and Do Good Multnomah are looking for input!
The focus group will be a team of 6-8 community members. The group will provide input for the design of the long-term transitional shelter planned to open fall of 2023 at 1952 N. Lombard. At this time, major changes are not planned for the exterior of the building. We are looking for input on design of the exterior of the site – such as the parking lot, fencing, and landscaping. For more information on the Arbor Lodge Shelter, please see: http://ahomeforeveryone.net/arborlodge
Total time commitment is 4 hours spaced over 4 meetings. The 4 meetings will occur between October, 2021, and April, 2022. Focus group members will gather 4 times for an hour each, to offer feedback on the design of the long-term shelter.
The first 3 meetings are planned for:
Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021, 5-6pm
Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2021, 5-6pm
Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2021, 5-6pm
To apply to participate in the focus group or to nominate a community member, please contact Andrea Matthews at andrea.matthews@multco.us. Please respond with your interest or nomination by October 21, 2021.

Update: October 7th 2021
We need you! The Arbor Lodge Tree Team still needs 4 volunteers to help put those little (and informative) tags in plants for our Sparrowhawk Native Plant Pick up.
Volunteer Date: Thursday, October 21st
Time: 1-5
Where: the parking lot of Peace Lutheran Church, corner of Liberty and Newcastle
Rain or shine some of us will be working hard label over 9,000 plants reserved for pick up that Friday and Saturday. No need to be able to ID the plants, but you'll likely learn to recognize some in the process. So come join your neighbors, help the Tree Team earn funds to buy fruit trees and blueberry bushes to give away next spring, and have some fun too.
here is the link to volunteer:
