We had a wonderful time at the retreat! I will be uploading some pictures of your adventures in a few days. For now, please check out the following Community Service Opportunities!
We received the following from former LOL student, Sid Sin (please note that the survey closes tomorrow):
My name is Sidaro Sin and I was in Leadership about three years ago….time just flies.
I had a project that I thought the leadership class might be interested in. I’m the project manager for the City’s Comprehensive Plan (Plan) update. The Plan is the City’s blueprint for economic development, transportation, parks, housing, etc for the next 25 years. We currently need residents of LO and people who own a business or land in LO to take the survey. The results of the survey will be the basis of the City’s vision for the future.
How can Leadership get involved?
1) Short quick involvement - ask members to take the on-line survey (if they’re a resident of LO or own a business/land). The survey closes on September 26.
Click on the link for the survey (they’re anonymous) and check out the short video.
2) More of a commitment, but fun and informative - participate in upcoming public meetings:
a) October 12 & 16 meetings – share results of survey and talk about community values, desired future, strategies to get us there
b) December meeting – Review 3-5 options of how the city could look based on the vision.
c) Many more opportunities
Thanks for your time.

We received the following from 2009 student, Julia Warren:
Hello Leadership Family,
The Lake Oswego Fire Department is holding a very important event on Saturday, October 9th, from 11am-3pm at the Main Fire Station in Lake Oswego to celebrate the Centennial and honor NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION MONTH.
They will have experienced personnel at various booths to discuss fire safety, rescue, medical, and boat patrol. They will have tours of the Fire Department, the Boat, and a Fire Truck. There will even be a special guest appearance by…(drum roll)… me. We’ll have handouts, stickers, fire hats, anything you will ever need to know about keeping yourself and your family safe.
Kids will love this event! It coincides with the last Farmer’s Market of the year so you can hit both events on the same trip. The Main Fire Station is on 3rd Street and B Avenue, just west of Chuck’s Coffee and north of the Farmer’s Market. Siobhan, know any Troops that would be interested in something like this? I’ve attached the flyer for your review (artist is the poster contest winner).
Spread the word like Wild Fire! Er…then come to the event and learn how to put that fire out.
