CNRG Nonprofit Networking Night: Thursday, August 20th, 5:30-7:30pm. 

Airplay Café, 701 E Burnside St.

Join us for an evening of conversation and live music at a new networking night location!

Are you a nonprofit or someone who works with them?  A nonprofit looking for affordable consultants or vendors?  A volunteer looking for an organization eager for your time?  A nonprofit staff member wanting to partner on a project?

If so, CNRG's nonprofit networking event is for you. Come meet others who work and volunteer in Portland's nonprofit sector. Swap resources, share ideas, devise solutions and just hang out with community-minded people like yourself at a great community cafe.

In the 1960s, Portland rejected free highway money from the Feds and chose to invest in public transport. Now the greenest city in America, we're talking about building a massive 12 lane bridge connecting Vancouver and Portland. The cost? $4.2 billion dollars, the most expensive public works project in the history of NW. Is this a cure for congestion or a catalyst for sprawl? Are we planning for the future or living in the past? Are there better ways to spend this huge sum of money? Join the conversation!

 2009 Roots of Change: Men, Sex and Justice

Hello!

I have a couple printers a 1200 DPI Lexmark black and white laser and a Tektronic's Dye Sublimination Color Printer that I'd like to donate to a great non-profit. They are perfect for things such as booklets, brochures, flyers, thicker paper, etc.

I just don't print much anymore and would rather see others have them.

How might I post this to the group?
