Sponsor a Rose City Park sign topper on your block! Plus, you can buy one for your home!

The Rose City Park Neighborhood Association is pleased to offer sign toppers again to neighbors for the first time since 2007! Our goal is to blanket the streets to help identify our neighborhood, build some civic pride, and help beautify our community. The neighborhood association has already dedicated some funds to get this work started. Now, we need your help to sponsor a sign for the many blocks in Rose City Park.
Sponsor a Sign On Your Block
You can have a sign installed on your neighborhood street!
  • To have a sign installed on your street, make a donation of $100 to the RCPNA. This will cover the cost of sign production and installation, which must be done by the city.
  • The installation will be coordinated by the neighborhood with PBOT.
Buy One For Home
You can also purchase a sign and have it delivered to your door. Put a sign up in your basement, garage, bedroom — your front lawn, anywhere! A donation of $100 will help with production costs and help offset the cost of installation of the remaining signs throughout the neighborhood.
Business Sponsorships
We are always looking for ways to mutually support our Rose City Park neighborhood businesses. A business donation can help offset our production and installation costs so we can stretch our dollars as far as possible. Consider sharing this opportunity with your Rose City business network. Those who donate will get a sign topper to proudly display!
How to Sponsor
Sponsor a sign using the RCPNA Venmo account below. Or, you can purchase by mailing a check to the RCPNA Treasurer at RCPNA ℅ Crockett, 2214 NE 51st Avenue, Portland, OR 97213. Make checks payable to RCPNA.
  • If you are sponsoring a sign for your block, please enter the cross streets where you want the sign (“NE 55th and Tillamook”) in the purchase notes.
  • If you want a sign for home, please note your home address where we can deliver the sign.
We are expecting sign production to take 2-3 months as we accrue enough funds for a bulk purchase. Installation by PBOT is also expected to take an additional 2-3 months, depending on workload. We are working to try and combine these installations with other work PBOT has planned in the neighborhood to reduce costs.
Questions
If you have questions, please contact Victor Sanders at victor.cmyk@gmail.com.

How to Purchase
Submit payment via Venmo (@RCPNA or scan the QR code), or make checks payable to RCPNA and mail to:
RCPNA ℅ Crockett, 2214 NE 51st Avenue, Portland, OR 97213

Community Event! Fire Station 28 Tour and Open House. April 6th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Fire Station 28

Explore the history of Portland’s oldest working firehouse!

April 6. 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Fire Station 28
5540 NE Sandy Blvd.

Visiting a fire station is a great way to learn more about our local, everyday heroes and to get an inside look at what being a firefighter is really like.  Join neighbors and families for an open house and tour of the historic firehouse at Sandy Blvd. at NE 56th St. Meet local firefighters, take pictures with the fire engine and look behind the scenes at what happens at the Station House!

Built in 1913, the firehouse once housed a team of horses to respond to fires and underwent extensive renovations in 2005. Be prepared: firefighters will end the event early if they receive a call for service during the scheduled tour. The event is a partnership between the Rose City Park Neighborhood Association and the Portland Fire Bureau.
