Apologies for cross and duplicate postings
REMINDER and new details below including growing list of sponsors and
supporters...

We hope to see you tonight, tomorrow and/or Saturday - you'll get to learn
from one another and folks from other communities about innovative
strategies that are working to build stronger community, safer neighborhoods
and more engaged citizenry. With economic times getting harder, working
together as a community has never been more important.

Tonight we'll have air conditioning in the library, bring cookies to share
if you'd like. Tomorrow we'll be outdoors all day - Corry and St. Paul
intersection (tent with walls set up already!) so dress comfortably, bring
chairs if you'd like (we rented 30), arrive early to register (8:30 am),
plan for lunch at a local restaurant or bring a lunch, and overall prepare
for a fun and active day! We still have volunteer opportunities to do the
following: help with set up, take photographs during the event and
registration table.

Tomorrow evening we'll be at Absolutely Art (back yard) for potluck and
talent show! All events are kid and family friendly. Welcome!
to volunteer 438-7264 (Pam) to register 206-6219 (Mariah).

History and progression of City Repair in Portland, as well as on Dignity

urban village. It is home for people who might otherwise inhabit doorways
and sidewalks. Dignity provides a peaceful community, a clean environment, a
center, and safety. It is governed by the residents.
