The June issue of the Mid-county Memo is posted online. A re-cap of its content follows …

This month’s issue has feature stories about new school gardens at two Mid-county elementary schools. The first at Shaver Elementary in the Parkrose School District, the other at Mill Park Elementary School in the David Douglas School District.

An update on the close Parkrose High School bond vote held in May.

This month’s edition also has a feature story on how David Douglas High School’s music program won a Grammy Gold Signature Award — that included a $5,500 cash prize — given annually to high schools with outstanding music programs.

The Montavilla Neighborhood Association set a date for its first Meet and Greet, Saturday, July 11, at the Coconut Café in east Portland at Northeast 79th and Glisan Street from 11 a.m. to noon.

Some proceeds will be donated to the Montavilla Neighborhood Association to help create and sustain community projects.
MNA Board members will be on hand to meet with neighbors and have informal conversations. Any idea on how to better Montavilla  has potential merit and is welcome.

For questions about the MNA in general, or this event in particular, contact Brian Wong, Co-Vice Chair Montavilla Neighborhood Association at 971-221-4718 or e-mail him at: wong.brian57@yahooh.com.
