Pooches In The Pearl Event

Friday, April 30th, 2010

When: Saturday May 22, 2010 @ 1-4pm
Where: The Encore, NW 10th & Overton
What: Pooches in the Pearl has been a long time coming. Many residents of the Pearl District own dogs as Portland is a dog friendly city. The purpose of the event is to have an educational gathering where dog owners and lovers can learn about vaccinations, pet stations, pet registration, and to socialize with other dog owners, lovers, and the pooches.

The Pearl District Neighborhood Association will also be showcasing a new pet station which will be on display at the event. The association has purchased 25 of these stations which will be going up all over our neighborhood in the next month or so to alleviate the gap in stations around town.

The event takes place at The Encore at NW 10th and Overton on Saturday May 22 from 1-4pm right next the Fields Park. This event was put together by the Pearl District Neighborhood Association’s Livability Committee and is being supported by our local businesses.

    Census Day

    Thursday, April 1st, 2010

    Today is Census day!

    Only 51% of Multnomah County residents have returned their Census form so far, and this year, returning your form is more important than ever before. Here’s why:

  • The Census count will determine our fair share of over $400 billion of federal and state funding each year.
  • For every 100 people not counted, Multnomah County will lose $120,000 each year – $1,200 per person.
  • Oregon may gain a sixth seat in Congress.
  • Census data helps our community decide where to build or locate new schools, roads, health centers, services for the elderly, job training centers, and more. (This is important since the Pearl District had very few residents the last time the Census came around.)

    • Remember – you count!
