Coming of a successful Founders Fair, it seems the Lents Neighborhood Association is looking for someone to head up the organization. (If you missed it, or not subscribed to the email notifications for new stories, our story on it is here.)
The Montavilla Neighborhood Association meeting is Monday. Here’s the agenda. Interim chair Jonathan Ogden was interviewed on KBOO recently. Among other business, the board plans to add four new members to the board.
Four people who were improperly appointed are slated, but others could be considered as well. Their term will run until October, when the yearly elections are held.
I’ve volunteered for several NAs in Portland, and trust me folks, it’s a rewarding yet frequently challenging way to serve.

Unfortunately, Chinese Village’s kitchen is closed for a few months for renovation… fuel to the fire of rumors that something new is planned for the site.
