Two longtime Beaumont-Wilshire Neighborhood Association volunteer leaders are stepping down from their respective posts due to changes in their personal and professional schedules.
Dan Johnson, who has held a variety of leadership positions (Board member, Treasurer, Bookkeeper, Newsletter Editor. . .just to name a few) is now serving as President of the Beaumont Business Association and has therefore opted to hand over his newsletter advertising contact duties to current BWNA Treasurer Gwen MacPherson.
Newsletter advertisers can reach Gwen by e-mail at gwennie60@comcast.net or by phone at 503.287.9996. All check payments for ads should be sent to Gwen’s home address: 4353 NE 40th Avenue, Portland, OR 97211.
Marsha Mahon has been the person behind the scenes for the past several years organizing the newsletter distribution system, supervising home delivery and recruiting neighborhood volunteers to be captains and distributors. Without her steadfast dedication and diligence, you would most likely not have this newsletter in your hands right now.
But Marsha’s transition to full-time employment has resulted in her need to, as she put it, “pass on the baton”— which, fortunately, was accomplished relatively quickly, thanks to BWNA Board member and newsletter distributor volunteer Serah Breakhouse stepping up to carry on where Marsha left off. Serah and President Al Ellis have collaborated with Marsha in an effort to plug some holes in the delivery system and improve efficiency, and we welcome your feedback. Also, there is still a need for more volunteers to help out with distribution, so please contact Serah if you’re willing to help. You can reach her by e-mail at sryano@comcast.net or by phone at 971.219.3492.
