Come to the Neighborhood Picnic

Aug 02, 2000

Tuesday, August 1, 6:00 ?– 8:30 pm
Wilshire Park picnic area (just south of covered shelter)

August 1st, as part of National Night Out, the BNWA is inviting all neighbors to the biggest, one of the most successful annual events in the neighborhood. Each year about 300 people attend the picnic. If you are new to the neighborhood, here is your chance to meet people who lived here when the streets and sidewalks first went in. Those of you who have lived here all your lives, come meet new neighbors moving into one of the most livable neigborhoods in Portland.

Bring the kids, parents, friends, and in-laws. Local merchants and business owners will be donating hot dogs, hamburgers, gardenburgers, soft drinks, plates, utensils and napkins. Neighbors are asked to bring a salad, desert, or other potluck dishes to share. Also, bring extra condiments. Please put your name and phone number on the bottom of dishes or serving items you bring so that we can return them to you in case they stray.

Area businesses have also donated door prizes, and drawings will be held during the picnic. Enter to win by signing in at the picnic and listen for your name to collect the prize. BWNA tee shirts will be on sale.

We have invited the mayor, the police chief and other city officials. Officer Scruggs, out precinct contact person, has promised to drop by during the picnic. National Night Out is a nation wide event to focus attention on crime prevention and neighborhood unity. BNWA is one of Portland?’s most active associations and our annual picnic is an important event.

Come, enjoy the food, meet your neighbors, bring the kids, have a great night out! August 1st.
