Get Involved!

Beaumont-Wilshire streets are filled with interesting and beautiful gardens. If yours is one of them, being a host for next year’s Art & Garden Tour is a great way to meet other gardeners and neighbors. It’s fun!
Ticket sales help BWNA fund many free community events throughout the year.

Do you have Ideas for our speakers forum?

Birds, bees, seeds? History or herstory? City politics? Aging in place? Downsizing? While there are a host of potential topics for our BWNA speakers forum, we’d like to hear from YOU.
What are you interested in? Or do you have a subject you’d like to present?
In 2025, BWNA logged talks on our neighborhood’s history, beneficial bugs, and going all-electric, and in November we hosted a presentation on the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake (see related article on page 8). What’s in store for 2026?
If you have ideas for us, contact SandieFam@gmail.com.

Our Events Committee is where all the BWNA-sponsored events and activities begin. Join this team of enthusiastic planners to contribute your ideas, or take the lead role in planning an event.
If you’re not the meeting-goer sort, consider helping occasionally at events like the community clean-up, speaker forums, BWNA Skidmore Block Party, or others.
We’d also love to have folks skilled at Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and/or marketing to help with promotion of events.
To get involved, email Events Committee chair John Sandie at SandieFam@gmail.com.

Help us “keep it clean” in the neighborhood by picking up trash and removing graffiti in Beaumont-Wilshire on a regular basis as you walk the neighborhood. To be a Trash Walker, email Angela Frome at angfrome@yahoo.com to receive free cleaning supplies.

We always have room for people with writing or reporting experience. Write regularly or occasionally, and plan to have fun! Email Editor@BWNApdx.org for more information.
