SOLV It for Earth Day,  APRIL 21, 10AM.
Help Clean Up Our Neighborhood!

Earth Day is a good day to give Mother Nature a helping hand and beautify the neighborhood.  

You can help by putting on your boots and getting a little dirty on Saturday, April 21nd, starting at 10AM to pick up trash and debris in the neighborhood:

• No man’s land areas, such as the cul de sacs along NE 28th
• On the wooded slopes of Sullivan’s Gulch, particularly on the underpass behind Lloyd Cinemas.

Meet at 10 am at the mini-plaza at NE 16th and Multnomah on Saturday, April 21st.  We’ll fan out to clean up different areas of the neighborhood. We’ll provide bags, safety vests, extension grabbers and sharps containers for any needles that are found.

If you’re ready to volunteer, want to suggest areas in the neighborhood that need some TLC, or want more information, please contact Michael Brown at [email protected] or 971-221-9475

May 12, Holladay Park Church of God, NE 21st & Tillamook, 9 am–1 pm. Accepted items: general debris; recyclables including block styrofoam, electronic waste; other recyclables to be determined; definitely NO PAINT this year. ​

SULLIVAN’S GULCH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS RESIDENTIAL SURVEY

Are you prepared for a major emergency or disaster in our area?

​The Sullivan’s Gulch NET is currently surveying residents and businesses in our neighborhood regarding emergency preparedness. The survey takes 5 minutes or less to complete and the data we receive from each neighbor or business is crucial for us to prepare our team and the neighborhood to respond effectively to any disaster that may occur.

Your answers will help our NET understand your needs, your current preparation for a disaster, and your interest in working with our team to prepare for and respond to a disaster that may affect our neighborhood.
