Roseway Cleanup Coming Soon!
The hugely popular Roseway Clean Up will take place again this year, on Saturday, May 19, 2012, at the Rose City Nazarene Church (7016 NE Sandy Boulevard) from 9am to 3pm. This is a great opportunity to clean out your garage and support your neighborhood at the same time. Funds raised from this event will go toward putting on Roseway’s very first “Concert in the Park” which will take place on July 28th at Glenhaven Park…stay tuned for more on that!
In order to make this event a success, we need over 75 volunteers. The volunteer shifts are 3 hours long, and scheduled from 8am – 11am, 10:30am -1:30pm, and 1pm – 4pm. Shift leaders and volunteers are needed for: Yard Debris/Wood Waste; Metal; Bulky Waste; Greeters/ Cashiers, Traffic Control, Plastics, You Price It, and Rebuilding Center & Teen Challenge. As an added Bonus, all volunteers get to bring a load to the Clean Up for free, get first pick at the “You Price It” tent, and receive complimentary refreshments. Several volunteer spots are still needed to be filled from 8am to 4pm, particularly during the 1 p.m to 4 p.m. shift.
To volunteer, please e-mail us at rosewayvolunteer@gmail.com and let us know your top three preferences, in order, for the area and shift for which you would like to volunteer and whether you are willing to be a shift leader. Thank you.
SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS AND PARTNERS:
Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, Metro, Central Northeast Neighbors, Inc., Rose City Church of the Nazarene, Recology, The ReBuilding Center, and Teen Challenge

Friends of Trees Planting in Roseway a Smashing Success!
On the last Saturday of March, a volunteer crew of 188 set out in the early drizzle of the morning to start planting trees in the Roseway and surrounding neighborhoods. By the end of the day over 388 new trees would be added to the area with over 227 of those trees planted in Roseway alone!
Each year, neighbors can sign up through Friends of Trees to purchase low cost trees for their planting strip or their general yard. This year, however, Roseway was part of a program that gave free trees to those Roseway residents who chose to receive a planting strip tree and volunteered to help out.
The turnout was overwhelming. Even the Mayor, Sam Adams, turned out to help plant trees on this blustery spring day. The Roseway Neighborhood Association would like to thank the FOT Neighborhood Coordinators, volunteers and residents who made the planting a huge success this year. Your efforts continue to help the Portland canopy grow and keep our air, water and neighborhood clean and beautiful.

Hey, kids, let’s put on a summer concert!
Want to help boost the fun factor in Roseway? Now’s your chance.
Roseway is partnering with Portland Parks & Recreation to bring the city’s free, family-friendly summer concert series to Glenhaven Park in 2012. Pete Krebs and his Portland Playboys will christen our foray into the series with their brand of Western swing.
Concerts in the park include food vendors, hands-on visual art activities for children and a chance to meet your neighbors. Bring a picnic and your dancing shoes, and well-heeled dogs on leashes. Under a special-use permit, you can also bring in your own beer and wine.
Roseway’s concert will be Saturday, July 28, 2012, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Our hope is to expand to a series of concerts as early as next summer.
To make all this happen, we need your help.
Each neighborhood that takes part in the citywide series raises the money to cover expenses, such as performer fees and equipment. Your contribution will help start a tradition that will grow over time and enliven our neighborhood.
No donation is too small. And if you’re a business that would like to become a sponsor at the $150 level or above, this is the perfect chance to connect with many potential new customers. Through your tax-deductible sponsorship, you have the potential to reach:
· A citywide audience with inclusion in the Portland Parks & Recreation summer concert and movie season brochure.
· A targeted neighborhood audience through other promotional information.
As a sponsor, you also can bring in a promotional table to the events you support. Sponsors often hand out literature about their business, gather mailing list signatures, or hold raffles or other giveaways.
This year only, sponsors who give a minimum of $150 will receive the same benefits as those at the Good Neighbor Sponsor level (normally $250). And because Glenhaven is hosting only one concert this year, sponsors who give $250 or more can table at one to three additional park concerts, depending on the giving level. Go to http://bit.ly/wcQrsu for a sponsor form, which details sponsorship levels and their benefits to your business.
Please note that sponsor payments are due May 15 to be included in promotional materials.
To make an individual donation anytime, please send a check to:
Make your check payable to Portland Parks & Recreation, and write “Glenhaven Park” in the memo line. To pay by credit card, call Judith Yeckel at 503-249-8159.
For more information, or if you’d like to discuss corporate sponsorship in person, email Angela Carpenter at violetsilver66@gmail.com
Please help our efforts to enrich our neighborhood!
