A friendly reminder that our November board meeting will be held on the second Tuesday of the month to avoid conflicting with Election Day. Same time, same place. Hope to see you there!
Meeting Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026
Meeting Time: 7PM-9PM
Open to Public: All welcome to attend
Location: German American Society, 5626 NE Alameda St, Portland, OR 97213 (in person only)

NE 72nd Drive and Greenway Enhancements:
Work on the NE 72nd Drive Greenway Enhancements project is expected to begin next Monday, October 26. The contractor’s construction schedule estimates crews to be on site through December 1.
Traffic impacts:
NE 72nd Drive will be closed to southbound motor vehicle traffic during work hours, which are 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., Monday – Friday.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will install pavement markings, signs, and concrete separators along NE 72nd Drive between NE Sacramento and Tillamook Streets to enhance the existing shared use path and Neighborhood Greenway.
People walking and biking will be allowed through during work hours. The road will be reopened to vehicles outside of working hours.
Additional background about the project and contact information can be found on the website: Portland.gov/72Drive.
Committee Members,
The German American Society informed us that they have scheduled other meetings at the GAS on the nights we hold our LU&TC meetings. So far, I have been unable to find an alternative meeting site. I have contacted the Early Head Start where we previously held meetings but cannot get my calls returned. I frankly am not sure they are still there what with budget cuts and all. If someone is in the neighborhood and could stop by to check on that, that would be great. Let me know. If you have other suggestions for meeting locations, please let me know.
I have asked the GAS if we could meet in the basement Beer Stube but have not received approval for that. Thus, I am cancelling tomorrow’s meeting. So sorry for the late notice. I am attaching the meeting notes from our meeting in August and the third draft of our Charter for your review prior to our November meeting.
I look forward to seeing you all at the meeting in November.

Hello Neighbors,
Please join us at the next RCPNA General Meeting on September 29 at the German American Society. Election season is here and we have multiple races on the ballot. On Tuesday night, we will highlight two races: Multnomah County Chair and Portland City Council District 3.
The Multnomah County Chair’s race will be a facilitated discussion between the candidates. If you have a question you would like the facilitator to ask, please email us at info@rcpna.org. Due to the sheer number of candidates, the Portland City Council candidates will be available for one-on-one discussion in a “speed dating” format. See the full agenda:
We hope to see you on Tuesday, September 29, at the German American Society (5626 NE Alameda St).
Volunteers Needed
The German American Society has a big event coming up on October 10 and would love some volunteers from Rose City Park! The Positive Aging Health & Wellness Fair is a free community event connecting older adults and caregivers with health resources, local services, workshops, and fun activities.

Committee Members,
It does not look like we have any urgent issues to discuss at the September 17 LU&TC meeting so I am cancelling it. I look forward to seeing you all at the meeting in October.
