Alliance Updates
Go big! Our two newest partners have serious reach - across Multnomah County, and statewide (hello, Travel Oregon!).
The
power of our partners was on display at the winter quarterly meeting of the
Oregon
Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) -- in
town on Jan. 28th for a rare Portland appearance. The Intertwine
Alliance hosted a post-meeting reception to raise awareness our
partners' work to this grant-making organization. And six Alliance partners were invited to present - click here to find out who!
Alliance exclusive! Partners, mark your calendar for June 12th. That's the date of our 2014 Annual Partners Meeting, to be held this year at the Portland Children's Museum. Special perk: a tour of the museum's yet-to-open 1.3-acre Outdoor Adventure play space.

Budding artists. We pine to attend Friends of Hoyt Arboretum's
popular Native Conifers 202 classes this month - already sold out. But by the time the first
