March 2011 Mid-county Memo online edition re-cap

The March issue of the Mid-county Memo was posted online last week. This month’s issue has stories about Portland City Council’s Citywide Tree Project hearing; an interview with Don Grotting, new David Douglas School District Superintendent; Fir Ridge Campus’ African American Family Night; CherryWood Village’s ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating Oregon’s largest senior retirement community solar array; Mid-county Memo founder Tom Pry’s obituary and photos of last month’s one-day snow event Thursday, Feb. 24.

And, as always, the informative departments: Memo Calendar, Memo Pad, Business Memos, Memorable Menus, Letters to the Editor and Loaves & Fishes’ monthly menu.

Oh, and for your (additional) information, the online Memo Calendar has listings unpublished in the regular newspaper edition.

The next general meeting of the Parkrose Heights Association of Neighbors is Tuesday, March 23rd. Besides its regular business, the general meeting will feature a City of Portland Radon Expert. Parkrose Heights is listed as the Portland neighborhood with the highest potential for high radon levels according to the EPA.

Meetings are held at Parkrose United Methodist Church, 11111 N.E. Knott St. For more information contact chair Carol Williams at 503-255-9696 or e-mail her at: carolsmailbox@msn.com.

Parkrose Heights has about 2,500 homes and is located in east Portland, between N.E. 102nd and 122nd Avenues, and from N.E. Halsey St. to the I-84 freeway.

PHAN was organized around enhancing the livability of the area and to maintain communication between neighbors and government agencies.
