Dear Neighbors,

The Southwest Hills Neighborhood Association (SHiNA) had it’s 20th Annual Potluck Picnic on Sunday, August 13th from 2-6pm at Wayne Morse Family Farm, 595 Crest Dr.

The weather was pleasant and the event was enjoyed by many adults and children. Thank you to everyone who came by and made the event possible.

As part of The SHiNA Annual Picnic advertisement we have put up signs a week before the event and picked them up on Monday evening. 18 of the 24 signs placed were retrieved and can be reused next year.

6 signs were missing at:

~~City View & Shield~~ (Found & Returned)
Chambers & McClean
29th & Portland
Willamette & 30th
Willamette & Crest
Willamette & 37th

The signs cost $25 each to print and can be reused with a date change for next year.

If you picked up one of the signs please send us a message via our contact page.

Let’s reuse rather than waste, it would be much appreciated!

Janet Bevirt, SHiNA Secretary

Fire Danger Warning August 2017

August 5, 2017August 5, 2017 swhillsadminLeave a comment

The Oregon Department of Forestry want neighbors to know that even though we had a wet spring, it is dry out now and with the heat and wind we are experiencing fires.

People should be careful with any kind of ignition source, even lawn mowing.

When the fire danger is ‘High’ mowing dry grass is NOT allowed between the hours of 10 am and 8 pm on ODF protected lands.

However, the time you are allowed to mow, run chainsaws, and a few other things fluctuates with the fire danger.

Attached is a document that does a great job of explaining 2017 DFPA Public Use Restrictions.
