What's Happening
with NLWL
UPDATE
(3/31/08) -- NLWL is
partnering with the Savanna Oaks Neighborhood
Association (SONA) to present an evening of dancing
to live blues and jazz. The event is a fundraiser
for the White Oak Savanna natural park and
the Computers for Kids project. Also,
attendees are asked to bring a can of food for the
West Linn Food Pantry. The event is on May 16 at the
West Linn Adult Community Center from 7 - 11 PM.
Here is a flyer with more details:
SONA fundraiser May 2008 (68k PDF)
(3/23/2008) -- NLWL
has been busy since our last update. Since last fall
we have delivered computers to six more
families, making it ten families in all who
have received free computers. These families have
been selected because they meet two criteria: 1)
their children attend West Linn-Wilsonville schools
and 2) they do not have a computer at home. Most of
these families also have more than one child who can
benefit from the computer.
We believe that access to
computers is a must for children if they are to
be competitive in today's academic environment.
Some of the computers we give away have been
graciously donated by members of our community and
others have been purchased from Dell. Our
outreach page has photos
of the families we have been able to help.
Contact
us if you have a computer (2005 or newer) that
you no longer need. We will refurbish it and deliver
it to a family in need.
Don't
miss the 2008 NLWL Fundraising Auction!

NLWL Fund Raising Auction (162k PDF)
(8/24/2007) --
Neighbors for a Livable West Linn's third annual
auction was a huge success with over $2,000 raised.
The proceeds will be used to continue our community
outreach and provide refurbished computers for
children in the West Linn-Wilsonville school
district. We would like to thank the numerous local
merchants who once again donated gift certificates
and merchandise to our auction. We would also like
to thank our many supporters who contributed their
talents (and money) to making the auction such a
success.
NLWL also continues to work
with various agencies in the Portland Metro area on
arranging the purchase of the Tannler East site in
West Linn for use as a park. We have received
letters of support from numerous entities including
the Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, Oregon
League of Conservation Voters, and many others.
