Kerns Board Elections in May
If you are interested in serving on the Kerns Neighborhood Association board, please join us for our May meeting when elections will be held. The meeting will be held in our usual space at the Pacific Crest Community School located at NE 29th and Davis St. The Kerns board is a friendly mix of neighbors coming together to address neighbor concerns and planning our annual events including our cleanup, picnic, bike safety event as part of the SE Sunday Parkway, and a movie night at Oregon Park this summer.
Kerns / Buckman Neighborhood Cleanup
Kerns is currently planning our annual cleanup with Buckman neighborhood for April 17th from 9am - noon. The cleanup is a not only a convenient way to dispose of stuff you no longer need, but is also a great opportunity to volunteer in the neighborhood. If you are interested in volunteering for the event, please contact kernsna@gmail.com. Stay tuned over the upcoming months for event details.
Save the Date -- Portland Plan Phase II Workshops
The city of Portland wants your input for the Portland Plan which will be the city's road map for the next 25 years, guiding our direction as the city grows and changes. We face some real challenges, and our response to those challenges will create the Portland of 2035 — the city of our children and grandchildren. It will take a lot of collaboration and your good ideas!

Community Compost Bin
If anyone is collecting kitchen scraps and needs a place to compost them, there's now a community compost bin at the Northwest corner of NE 31st Ave and NE Couch St. Things like vegetable peelings, over ripe fruit and old leaves are fine, but no meat or overly smelly leftovers (to avoid attracting vermin). Thanks for composting!
