It has been awhile since I last attended an neighbor meeting. It's encouraging to see new energy and a shared sense of momentum. Thanks to SE Uplift for facilitating tonight's conversation. I'm looking forward to see the next step.
Thanks for the comment Rian! Yes, we are all very excited about our neighborhood and its possibilities! We do know it's gonna take a lot of people's energy to make noticeable progress. But I believe we're up to the challenge!
The meeting last night was excellent! I'm glad to such a shared sense of great vision for the neighborhood. I'm looking forward to being more involved. Keep up the great work MSANA (board and neighbors) and SE Uplift.

I’m not sure when I made the switch from pronouncing it “arr-let-ah “to “arr-leet-ah.“ It sort of happened without my noticing, but I suspect it was around the time that Multnomah County declared the Wikman Building surplus , and started soliciting bids for future uses of the site. I learned at the open house that the building, located at 4420 S.E. 64th Ave , at Holgate, just across from Laurelwood Park, was originally the Arleta Library. Suddenly the name had meaning, history, and context. I started pronouncing it with the long “e” in the middle.

Scott-Arleta neighborhood board for the past four years with such thoughtful and caring fellow board members.

As I depart for a sabbatical in the agrarian hills of Southern Oregon in late March, I will reflect on the many accomplishments of our board in which I’ve had the pleasure to participate. Among the more memorable ones are: The neighborhood-involvement survey funded by SEUL Supporting Foster Green and the Alley Allies project with Foster-Powell NA Neighborhood Kickball Champions League also funded by SEUL Beautifying and caring for the Arleta Triangle & Our Happy Block(fiscally sponsored by SEUL) The amazing Neighborhood Clean-ups with Foster-Powell NA And many great f...
