PARKROSE HEIGHTS GENERAL MEETING
JUNE 28, 2011
Parkrose Heights Association of Neighbors (PHAN) will hold their next general meeting on June 28, 2011 at:
United Methodist Church
11111 NE Knott St (111th and NE Knott)
7:00 PM
The Guest Speaker, Teri Poppino, will discuss how to go about setting up a “Neighbor Watch.” Teri is the local Crime Prevention Coordinator for six neighborhoods in East Portland, including our area of Parkrose Heights.
Even though this is a Parkrose Heights meeting, we are inviting all interested parties, from any neighborhood to participate. Therefore we are encouraging you to invite all your friends and neighbors, regardless where they live to attend.
The more areas with a neighborhood watch program, the bigger bite we can take out of crime in NE Portland.
If you have any questions, feel free to call:
Jim Murphy, 503-254-7060
Coordinator for PHAN
