You may not know that our neighborhood is part of a coalition of neighborhoods known as Neighbors West- Northwest (NWNW). The coalition includes the Pearl, Downtown, Goose Hollow, Arlington and eight other neighborhoods.
The coalition gives NW neighborhoods a stronger voice with the city and allows us to work together on common goals including our emergency preparedness efforts, the Polish the Pearl events and our annual Pearl Party.
Like many non-profits the ability to keep this organization effective requires considerable volunteer time, and to the extent we can get them, contributions.
Once a year NWNW has a fundraiser. Through the generous support of CoHo Theater we sponsor a preview performance. The stage is small and you really feel like you’re sitting on stage next to the actors. This year’s performance is based on a novel by Charles Dickens.
Tickets are only $25 with all funds benefiting NWNW. Two tickets and a dinner and you have a cheap “date night” and an excellent way to support the PDNA’s efforts by supporting NWNW. See you there!

Have you heard of the Portland Pearl Rotary Club? Maybe have questions as to what they’re about? We’re highlighting their efforts and contributions so you know a little more about this dynamic, supportive group.
The primary goals of the Portland Pearl Rotary Club are:
- Fostering unity among member clubs
- Strengthening and expanding Rotary around the world
- Communicating worldwide the work of Rotary
- Providing a system of international administration
When undertaking an effort, members of the Portland Pearl Rotary Club ask themselves:
- Is it the truth?
- Is it fair to all concerned?
- Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
- Will it be fun?
