Holiday Schedule Changes

Due to the busy holiday season, there will not be either Steering Committee or Economic Development meetings for the month of December. Team members will still be working on projects during this time, just not in standing meetings. Please feel free to contact us as ever — we’ll be around all month.

Happy Holidays!

Waffles for the Holidays and You’re Invited!

Every year, the 42nd Avenue Business Association invites community members to spend time together and eat copious amounts of breakfast goodies — that time is upon us again.

Join community members at St. Charles Church this Saturday anytime between 9:00am and noon. For $3.00 or a donation of two cans of nonperishable food, you get tasty waffles and accompanying deliciousness — which is clearly the best breakfast deal in town. Donated food goes to the Oregon Food Bank.

Our 42nd Avenue will be hanging out, sharing information about some awesome new opportunities for existing businesses and folks who may be thinking about starting a business in our community. Mostly, though, we’ll be eating waffles and enjoying the company of friends.

Hope to see you there!

42nd Avenue Business Association Holiday Social
@ St. Charles Church (5310 NE 42nd Ave)
