Piedmont. Portland's Emerald.

1. Pizza was provided – Little Caesar’s gave us a dollar off for being a neighborhood group
   
   We started with a just brief overview of some of the projects the PNA has been involved in to showcase what we can influence. Two examples given were the low income senior housing at Rosemont and the ADA ramps installed in at the sunken rose garden in Peninsula Park. While we did not initiate or fund the projects, we had a hand in their aesthetics and helped to maintain their historic integrity. 
2. Because our main agenda was a continuation of our communication discussion in February, we circulated a draft of the flier. While praised, it was noted that our website and Facebook info need to be added. Additionally, there was great concern regarding distribution. That is something we still need to work out. It was suggested we use a map to make sure we don’t overlap or miss anyone. It was also noted that in addition to a QR code, there needs to be a link for the survey posted on NextDoor, Facebook, our Website, and the flier itself. 
3. David Crandall asked about, and volunteered to attend on our behalf, the north Portland Neighborhood Chairs Meetings that are held monthly. Deanne will confirm date, time, and location and get back to David personally on this.
4. We will be hosting a Bryant Street Bridge clean up on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22.
5. We then spent the last 45 minutes hearing from each person present what their biggest interests are and their ideas regarding communication.
