Important Town Hall Event Planned
Hello Neighbors-
Two Town Hall events are coming up next week on the topic of Houseless Strategies and Shelter Code amendments. We have a great panel of speakers lined up to help us all become better informed, but most importantly, we have an opportunity for our community to meet "in person" and ask questions about an important issue affecting our community.
The Panel of Speakers include:
- Deschutes County Commissioner: Patti Adair
- Bend City Councilor: Megan Perkins
- Bend Chief of Police: Mike Krantz
- Houseless Service Provider: Alan Evans (CEO Helping Hands ReEntry Org)
This event is brought to you by non-partisan volunteers, and is Hosted by Neighborhood Associations and BendCares (a group of caring Bend residents). These groups endeavor to educate and inform our community on important topics, and we are pleased to be doing so in a live/in-person format. Panelists will be asked to speak to the subject matter, then we are placing an emphasis on giving the audience attendees an opportunity to ask questions during the time allotted.
The event will be held at Caldera High School, 60925 SE 15th Street. Please plan to arrive by 5:15PM, we will begin promptly at 5:30PM. If you would like to attend these Town Hall events, please RSVP below:
