2nd Tuesdays Each Month (except Dec)  6pm  Upstairs City Hall

Come together for this fresh, upbeat gathering of people who love our community, enjoy brainstorming, and are willing to share a little time and talent

(YES, that's YOU!)  Each month we’ll welcome a guest—voices from our schools, health care, city leadership, emergency services, or simply someone with something positive and meaningful to share. 


Expect a quick 10-minute presentation followed by a lively round-robin conversation. Sometimes we’ll bring topics that need community input; other times, you’ll bring the ideas to the table. Connection, collaboration, and fellowship are the goal—and we happily leave negativity at the door.

This is how we do it!   With an extraordinarily dedicated and invested Board of Directors, supported by regular Positively Portland volunteers, in collaboration with the City and it's Departments utilizing our, city, county and state resources.  YOU can be a part of making a lot of wonderful things happen by joining us. 

This is when we do it!  on the 2nd Tuesday of each month 6pm Upstairs at City Hall. Become a regular and see how even more gets done.
