1) Patton Square Park walkaround (Saturday)
Join the Overlook Neighborhood Emergency Team Saturday (tomorrow) 10 to 11 a.m. for a walk around Patton Square Park. The team will discuss plans for staging services in case of a catastrophic emergency like a major earthquake. Radio channel 5 will be open for those wishing to check-in ahead of time and test their radio’s range.
2) Development coming to Interstate Avenue
Mark your calendar now for the Sept. 20 Overlook Neighborhood Association general meeting. At the meeting, developers of several upcoming large residential projects on Interstate Avenue, including at Alberta and Webster Street, will present their projects and answer questions from residents. This is your chance to weigh in on the apartment buildings coming to our neighborhood.
Also at the meeting, we will hold our annual elections for the OKNA board. If you’d like to get more involved, you can declare your candidacy at the meeting. Board members are expected to attend two meetings most months on the first and third Tuesdays.
Next week’s neighborhood update will include an agenda for the meeting.
OKNA General meeting
Tuesday, Sept. 20, 6:30 p.m.
Kaiser Town Hall Building (3704 N Interstate Ave.)
Correction: The original post included incorrect monthly meeting days.
3) Is your pet ready for disaster? (Sept. 12)
We all know how pet friendly Portland is, but what happens to our pets if there is a major disaster? How do we get them ready? What do we do when the disaster strikes? Are there places to take them while we put our own lives back together?
On Sept. 12, 7-8:30 p.m. at Peninsula Park Community Center West Gym, hear veterinarian Ross Weinstein of the Lombard Animal Hospital and resident of the Piedmont Neighborhood tell us what resources are available, and what preparations we can make ahead of disaster.
Pet Preparedness
Monday, Sept. 12, 7-8:30 p.m.
Peninsula Park Community Center (700 N Rosa Parks Way)
4) Beach Harvest Dinner (Sept. 24)
The second annual Beach School Harvest Dinner takes place on Sept. 24, 5-8 p.m. on the school’s field. Tickets include happy hour (beer and wine) and a sit-down, family-style, farm-to-table dinner. The meal will be catered by local restaurants and will have vegetarian and gluten-free options. Seating is limited, so don’t delay.

5) Movie in the park a success
Thank you to everyone who attended Sunday’s movie in Overlook Park. The turnout was great and good time was had by all. Please give a shout-out to all of the volunteers who helped make it happen including Overlook Neighborhood Association board members (especially Cynthia Sulaski who put it all together), Autum Webring and Teresa Perrin who helped secure donations to the raffle, and Pat DiPrima-LeConche and Barb Brooks for helping man the booth.
