NEXT NAC MEETING IN OCTOBER AT CONESTOGA REC CENTER

The next meeting of the Greenway NAC will be on October 19, 2006 at 7:00 PM. We will meet in the Library at Conestoga Middle School. Our guest speaker will be the City of Beaverton Mayor Rob Drake. Rob will give us his vision for the city as well as answer any questions you may want to ask him. We will also have a short informational presentation from Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District Natural Resources Supervisor Bruce Barbarasch about the plan and ways to volunteer with the natural resource enhancements to Greenway Park. This meeting will also be our annual election meeting. There will not be a separate agenda mailing for the October meeting agenda other than a postal patron postcard to all addresses in the NAC. I will have agendas available at the meeting. The agenda will also be posted on the NAC Website (http://greenwaynac.homestead.com) several weeks before the meeting.

MEETING LOCATION CHANGE

The Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District is unable to guarantee us a room for NAC meetings this year. The Beaverton Resource Center rooms are also unavailable on our scheduled meeting dates. Therefore the meetings are again going to be held in the library at Conestoga Middle School.
