Portland Citywide Parks Team will NOT meet in July or August

NO MEETING IN JULY OR AUGUST 2009.

We tried, without success, to put together a July meeting on parks and urban renewal.  Ran into too many problems scheduling around vacations and other commitments.  A good reminder of why, in the past, the Citywide Parks Team has not met in July or August.

Citywide Parks Team Third Thursdays 7:00 - 8:30 pm

The Portland Citywide Parks Team is an ad hoc citizens group, formed in February 2005.  Monthly meetings provide a forum for information-sharing and an exchange of ideas -- and for respectful discourse on park issues and policies.  There are also opportunities to network with others who are working and volunteering to make Portland's parks even better than they are today.  It's citizen-initiated, citizen-led, citizen-owned, and intended for all Portlanders who care about getting things done in and for parks in Portland.

The Citywide Parks Team meetings are open to anyone.  The group doesn't have designated members or a formal committee structure. Interested individuals are encouraged to drop in whenever they can. It's a self-selected, ever-changing group that meets monthly, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm on the third Thursday, in the Forest Park Conference Room at the Portland Building.  Attendance has ranged from 4 to 40+ people, depending on the topic.
