August 7 | 4-7 PM – NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2026 District 3 Event at Normandale Park
Join us for NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2026 at Normandale Park, NE 57th and NE Halsey Street. August 7 | 4-7 PM
HANG OUT WITH YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS!
FOOD • FAMILY-FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES • SPECIAL PERFORMANCE • GUEST SPEAKERS
Disclaimer: We do our best to connect neighborhoods with first responders during National Night Out. If emergencies arise, they may need to respond to calls for service instead of attending community events.
Join The Portland Fruit Tree Project in caring for trees, sharing fruit, and connecting with your community.
Have an overabundant fruit tree (or know someone who does)? Hop on the Portland Fruit Tree Project website and register your fruit trees for a harvest—or drop off harvested fruit using our easy, DIY, at-your-convenience process. Then we’ll get the fruit out to the community! https://portlandfruit.org/share/.

Do you have a Catio you’d like to show off? Sign up to be a stop on the 14th annual Catio Tour!

Hello Rose City Park neighbors,
I’m reaching out from the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon with a special request for your help. We are currently looking for community members who would be willing to share their Catios as part of our 14th Annual Catio Tour this September.
This event is a wonderful collaboration between the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon and the Bird Alliance of Oregon. Together, we’re working toward a simple but powerful goal: keeping cats safe at home while protecting the birds and wildlife we all care about.
Catios are such a beautiful reflection of that balance. They give cats a safe way to enjoy the outdoors, and they help our neighborhoods thrive for both pets and wildlife. By opening your Catio to the community, you can inspire others and make a meaningful difference.
If you or someone you know might be interested in participating, you can learn more and apply here:

You can also help simply by sharing this post with your networks: NEXT DOOR
Every share helps us reach someone who cares, someone who can help create a safer, healthier environment for cats and wildlife alike.
Thank you so much for being part of this compassionate community,
Sabrina

Hello Neighbors,
Please join us at the next RCPNA General Meeting Tuesday, Tuesday, May 26th at the German American Society (5626 NE Alameda St) from 7-10 PM.
We’ll kick things off with an ice cream social, so even if you can’t stay for the whole meeting (especially those of you with kids on a school night), please drop in, grab a scoop, and meet a new neighbor. From there, we’re thrilled to hear from the winner of our 4th/5th grade essay contest. Next, we’ll hear from the Rose City Community Collective which is investing in serving our neighborhood. We will be hosting a silent auction, the proceeds of which will go to support their work. Lastly, all three of our District 3 City Councilors — Angelita Morillo, Tiffany Koyama Lane, and Steve Novick — will be joining us. With budget season underway at City Council, this is a great opportunity to hear about their priorities and ask questions of your own.
