SCOPE OF THE POSITION

Hi, folks. Cycle Oregon has a few (thousand) random items to share! We are a non-profit here in Portland whose primary task is to coordinate an annual ride in a different part of Oregon as a means to stimulate economies of rural Oregon towns. That's a little background.

My job here is to sort through supplies and utilize what we have and offer what we don't need to others. So, we have a lot of tent supplies that we don't actually use for the 1000+ tents we put up each year. I found a GREAT use for the actual tent bags, but I can't figure out how we might use the rest. Here's what I have:

1000+ pole bags (blue, approximately 27 inches feet long, 3 inches in diameter with a tie close)

Greetings,

The deadline for the Neighborhood Small Grant is fast approaching, Monday, November 3rd by 2:00 PM at Neighbors West-Northwest, 2257 NW Raleigh St, Portland OR 97210. POSTMARKS DO NOT COUNT.

The application and instructions are attached and are available on our website at www.nwnw.org/GrantProgram.html.

If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a time to review your draft, please contact me soon to schedule a time. I set aside some time next week to meet with interested applicants on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please feel free to email me questions as well.

Sincerely,

Every year Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. has an Annual Fall Clean Up. This event started because of an increase in illegal dumping in the area, especially into the creeks. Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. decided to address this issue by providing a recycling service to all southwest residents. We normally have approximately 700 cars come and drop off recyclable items like scrap metal, furniture, yard debris, appliances, mattresses etc. We partner with several businesses to ensure all the items are recycled properly and wastes are disposed of appropriately. We need lots of volunteers to help people unload the cars and keep the lines moving. We also send volunteers with trucks to senior's who can't drop off items themselves.
