<div><b><u>A new neighborhood park at SE 19th and Division? Share your vision!</u><br>When: Wednesday June 3, at 5:30 (before the Division Street CAC meets at 6)<br>Where: St. Philip Neri Church Carlvin Hall;
2408 SE 16th Avenue (and Division)</b><br><b><br></b>Are you interested in helping create a “Pocket Park” at SE 19th
& Division? Join HAND board members and other neighbors to talk
about how we can do this. Our goal is to get on paper specifics of what the community would like to see at this currently underutilized “public right of way” and how we might
go about making a public park a reality. With the reconstruction of
Division Street, there may be ways we can get funding from
groups/organizations involved with and interested in Division’s
redevelopment. Next meeting will be brief - before the Division Street Citizens Advisory Committee meeting at Carlvin Hall.<br><b><br><u>SE Uplift Sustainability Network Meeting</u></b></div>

<div>Over the last month, C-Change has worked to compile the information and
feedback they gathered through outreach and research into an
easy-to-use handbook for neighborhoods, The Neighborhood Climate Action
Planning Handbook. C-Change will be presenting the guidebook at the next SE

include a preview of the handbook and a discussion on how the handbook
