Neighbors Together is about connecting neighbors with an emphasis on community building. Neighbors Together activates multiple collaborative and creative solutions to community safety. This training supports neighbors to work with each other, with the City, and with community to better address a range of public safety considerations such as active transportation, emergency preparedness, personal safety, community advocacy, youth safety, and more.

Unfortunately, due to the awful air quality from the fires, we're postponing the music scheduled for Saturday.  Looking forward to getting back to our September Sounds in Sellwood next Saturday, 9/19, with Irish tunes from Dan & Fran at 2 pm, and jazz from Dan Presley & John Gilmore at 5:30 pm.  Hopefully we'll be able to reschedule Lloyd Jones and Whiskey Deaf for Saturday, October 3.  Join your neighbors by Grand Central Bakery to hear Lloyd Jones (Funky good-time blues).
