Master gardener Kris LaMar will talk about the challenges and joys of gardens in a small space–which plants to include and which ones to avoid. Kris has been a Master Gardener and Master Recycler for eight years. She is especially interested in soil, soil microbes, nutrients, and composting–all relevant to both gardening and recycling. She took these two training programs after retiring and moving with her husband to an acre in Clackamas County, where plant stewardship was new to her. Before retiring from the Multnomah County Circuit Court bench in 2009, she lived in Downtown Portland, with little opportunity to garden except in containers.

River West Villager Janet Liu will lead a discussion to share her perpsectives on Asian-Americans and their history: "I am an Asian American. I moved to America with my family from Taiwan when I was still a child. I am 1.5 generation. My parents are 1st generation. My daughter, who was born here, is 2nd generation. I am bi-cultural and operate comfortably in both cultures. My Chinese friends say I‘m pretty Americanized. My American friends are those who accept other cultures. "How do I feel about the massacre of Asian-Americans in Atlanta? I‘ve been reflecting. I don‘t feel that fearful about it. Maybe it‘s because the latest comes after a year of violence on Asian-Americans since the beginning of COVID; and inflamed by a President who scorned Asian-Americans. Maybe it‘s because this time the public outrage against the violence is so great and so many public officials and social organizations have condemned the hate crimes. ..... (and more) -Janet Liu For the Zoom link to this event, please contact Janet Liu at janetliu1@juno.com.

Although the group is at capacity at this time, please contact the Village Office if you would be interested in forming or joining a new circle.

This Circle consists of NEV members and volunteers who live in Rose City Park, Roseway, Cully and other NE neighborhoods. We have been meeting regularly for a couple of years. We usually meet once a month at 2 pm on the 2nd to last Friday of the month.

Inspired by Sheryl Atkinson‘s book Slanted, join for a discussion on journalistic standards, whether they‘ve changed (and how), where the profession is headed, and how the public can successfully navigate the many news venues of the 21st Century. Our guest speaker for this event is Nancy Townsley, an essayist, longtime newspaper journalist, and a marathoner who lives on a floating home in the Multnomah Channel west of Portland. Her work-in-progress, Sunshine Girl, is a roman à clef about a journalist-turned-activist in a time of devalued news. In her 35-year-career as a community newspaper reporter and editor, Nancy earned numerous statewide awards for writing and editorial work from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association and the Society of Professional Journalists.
