FOVC: Changes Ahead
Monday, April 25, 6pm  
Multnomah Village Lucky Lab
  
At our last meeting, we discussed FOVC survey responses (please feel free to complete an anonymous survey if you haven't already) and came up with a couple changes under consideration: 
  • We will be switching our regular work party schedule to First Saturdays beginning in May or June.  An email announcement will be sent after Monday's meeting.
  • Volunteers would like to have more participation at work parties - we will be looking into the possibility of FOVC volunteers signing up to work with community service crews.
  • Group members also expressed interest in working with local school groups on educational projects/activities.
  • Multnomah Days and large outreach events weren't as important to the FOVC volunteers who took the survey last month. 
  • If you enjoy seeing the FOVC salmon parade through Multnomah Village each August, now is the time to say so -- and help make it happen!

 

Please attend our meeting on Monday evening to weigh in on these topics, or email Jen at [email protected]
