1. Soupstainability: Sustainability Soup Potluck (Thurs., 10/21)
“The Power of Community”, a one-hour movie, will be screened during a soup potluck and followed by a discussion of sustainability in Overlook. We hope to form an Overlook Neighbors for Sustainability group to discuss ways we can forward these ideas in our community and put them into practice for ourselves. Please bring your favorite soup/bread/salad and your own bowl/utensil/beverage and join us on Thursday, October 21 from 6:00-08:00 pm at the Overlook House, 3839 N Melrose Drive.

Questions? Contact Leslee Lewis at 503.282.6054 or email kgllport@ aol.com with Soupstainability in the subject line.
