2023 General Membership Meeting
Tuesday October 3, 6 - 8pm
We are holding our annual General Membership Meeting in person for the first time since 2019! Deschutes Brewery has generously donated the use of the Mountain Room, located at their production brewery in Southern Crossing.
The first half hour will be for socializing, with appetizers on us and a cash bar available. At 6:30 there will be presentation on NSSP projects on Woodriver Drive and Chamberlain Street, and another by Save Bend Green Space on the recent campaign to preserve the Canopy Trail on COID land, status of the pending sale of that land, and more. The business portion of the meeting will follow the presentation, including board and officer elections. The meeting will wrap up with closing comments by our City Council liaison Barb Campbell.
Your neighborhood needs you!
Make a difference in YOUR neighborhood
This is an exciting time for Southern Crossing, with lots of change in the near and far future. You can learn what is happening in YOUR neighborhood by being on the Board of the Southern Crossing Neighborhood Association. You can also help influence growth and development by being involved, instead of just watching the changes happening in Bend. It's a great chance to collaborate, raise awareness, and contribute to what’s happening in the neighborhood. This is an opportunity to make a difference.
Board meetings are held monthly on Zoom. New board members will begin their two-year terms January 1, 2024. General board member positions are open, and officer positions of Chair and Treasurer are up for election.
Board members will be elected at our General Meeting on Tuesday October 3, 6 - 8pm. Please indicate your interest in being on the Board with the button below, and contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
