New SCNA Events Committee Forming!
Do you like planning parties? Enjoy getting together with neighbors? Or want to get more involved with community life? If so, please consider joining SCNA’s new Events Committee.
In 2023, SCNA hosted two in-person events - a Spring Social at Crosscut Warming Hut and our general meeting held at Deschutes Brewery. Based on the enthusiastic response we received to these events, we want to organize even more opportunities for neighbors to gather for conversation, socializing and fun. To make this happen, SCNA is establishing a new committee dedicated to coming up with fresh ideas for gatherings - such as block parties, coffee chats or ice cream socials - and helping to plan and organize these events.
To join the Events team, please email us at [email protected]. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you at a SCNA event this year!
