Metro Nature Grant-
Decided not to do a large event,
rather pickup items not funded in the North Portland Trust Fund Grant ($1,500
awarded, but not yet received) Grant will include several outreach pieces,
business cards, brochure/rack card and small poster. Francie will send Pam the adidas info where Tim Lyden offers t-shirts on the
possibility they could be used as match and we could get them printed with logo
for donations. Pam will write the
grant, before leaving town and email it
out for finishing up. Due May 22nd.
Scott and Jason will update the website with the volunteer needs and committees and
forward responses to the info@npgreenway to those of us they consider
appropriate. Jason reported that our
email list is growing.
Jason will
take the lead on a bike ride event for May 31st that can include a
“meeting” to brief those who attend. We discussed the desire to hold “active
meetings” that engage supporters rather than meet only rooms.
Pam will
email an invitation to government agency reps for our May 29th
government meeting for coordination at Metro.
We decided not to pursue 501

include the Peninsula Crossing Trail and become some sort of friends of north
