August 11, 2010 - Wednesday 13th Annual Summer Potluck
6:00-8:00pm Breezeway behind Amazon Community Center
Local or home-grown ingredients encouraged in potluck dishes, a main dish, beverages, and table service will be provided. If you have extra garden produce, you might bring it to share with neighbors. There will be door prizes too. This is a popular event and thus a great opportunity to meet new neighbors, get reacquainted with those you met at the last potluck, and socialize with friends. Children welcome!

MISSION STATEMENT
In May of 1999, the Eugene City Council adopted the following mission statement for Neighborhood Associations:
Our mission is to build community at the neighborhood level and improve the livability of the City's neighborhoods. Neighborhood Associations do this by:
| • Sponsoring neighborhood improvement projects and social events; • Providing a forum to identify, discuss, and resolve neighborhood issues • Establishing a two-way communication between neighborhoods and the City, and between neighborhoods and other external agencies; • Educating neighbors on issues, public process, City services, and elections, and; • Identifying and Advocating the Neighborhood Association's position on issues such as land use, transportation, public safety, and social services. |
Our neighbors are those who live, work, or own property within our boundaries.
