The Lents Neighborhood Association‘s June general meeting will focus on immigrant support. It’s not in Montavilla specifically, but area state representatives and immigration law experts will be presents to discuss their efforts and how neighbors can help. One of the main goals of Village Portland is to share efforts across neighborhood boundaries, so I figured people would want to know.

For more information on the meeting, go here. There’s also a community appreciation dinner before the meeting.

Lents Community Center, SE Woodstock Street * 7 pm meeting, dinner 6:30 pm
