Thursday, May 22 at the Laurelhurst Club
Portland League members are invited to attend our Annual Membership Meeting on May 22 to celebrate Portland springing back as our new form of city government unfolds, we consolidate to a 501(c)3, and we welcome a new Board of Directors.
Annual Membership Meetings are an important opportunity for members to have a say in the League’s leadership and direction for the coming year. It’s also an excellent time to meet other members and connect with old friends.
This year’s Annual Membership Meeting will be held at the Laurelhurst Club. Check-in will begin at 4:30, with the buffet meal at 5 pm. This event is designed to bring League members together to catch up, enjoy a catered buffet meal, and take care of important League business. The cost for the meal is $35, although members are welcome to attend without purchasing a meal. Registration is required and information is below.
