Calendar - Month View

NE Village writers of diverse background and genres gather to share and discuss their work, including prose, poetry, memoir and more. We meet on the first Monday afternoon of each month.

Note: this group is currently closed to new members. Please contact the Village Manager if you would like to be a part of a new group of writers or if you would like to start one.

Looking to reconnect with old friends and/or make new ones? We‘re starting a new/old tradition of women gathering together to discuss anything and everything while enjoying a cuppa. Weather permitting, meet on the outdoor patio, otherwise look for us at a big table inside. No registration required - just show up! This group meets bi-weekly.

Monthly meeting for the office volunteers.

We are forming a new monthly writing group. If writing is fun for you and you would like to share your efforts with a nurturing, supportive group please consider attending!

Group size will be limited to 6 or 7, so everyone has a chance to share in a meaningful way. Please bring something to read, no longer than 10 minutes please, to allow for response time. All are welcome. Bring poetry, memoir, or whatever literary efforts you may want to explore.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at annetteon50th@gmail.com.

Wheelchair accessible.

As new volunteers and members come to Northeast Village, more and more of them tell us
they heard about the village from a friend, neighbor or relative. It’s great that word of mouth is
working so well to advertise NEV. At the same time, our organized outreach – via scheduled
information sessions, talks to neighborhood associations and social organizations, and
participation in street fairs and farmers markets – is still critical to bringing us new members
and volunteers. And we really need more folks to help with these efforts.

If you enjoy meeting new people and would like to share your experience of our Village, longtime NE Village volunteers Julie Granger and Jane Braunger are hosting a tea at Julie‘s where they will share information about our current (and future!) outreach efforts and how you can support them. When you register on the calendar, you’ll get advance information.

Questions? Contact Julie (julebert@g2online.org; 971-266-7670) or Jane (janebraunger@gmail.com; 503-880-0339)

We look forward to meeting with you!

This closed group of 5-8 people will meet monthly to explore our thoughts, desires, and concerns about our own death. Depending on the group’s interests, we have many options for expanding our view of death and better understanding our hopes and fears around our own deaths. We will determine, as a group, the path we want to take as we go along. Activities could include reading a book about death and dying, listening to and discussing a TED talk, or doing a creative activity together.

Discussion of the business of the Membership Committee.

Join NEV friends at Thai Noon to enjoy a wide variety of Happy Hour and other offerings. Please register by May 12 so we can make reservations. See you there!

The movies for discussion are: "Shall We Dance "(1937) and "12 Angry Men"(1957). Both films are available for streaming on Prime Video and other streaming sites as well as on Tubi for free.

Please register for this meeting on the NEV calendar so that we will know who is coming.

Will look forward to seeing you at there.

Would you like space to connect with other male members and volunteers from NEV? NEV volunteer Steve Parker is convening a group for Village men. At this initial meeting, we will brainstorm the idea of a men’s group on-going to create another venue for male community in the village. Venue, topics and format will be discussed to see what may work best for our group. If you have ideas or suggestions in the meantime please send them to Steve Parker at shifthap@gmail.com

Looking to reconnect with old friends and/or make new ones? We‘re starting a new/old tradition of women gathering together to discuss anything and everything while enjoying a cuppa. Meet on the outdoor patio. No registration required - just show up! This group will meet bi-weekly.

As we age some of us have family or friends who will provide care or support for us if needed, and some of us do not. Even if we have children, they may not be available or able to provide support. Discuss your feelings, experiences and concerns surrounding aging without family or social support. Share ideas about ways to strengthen your social and safety networks.

Facilitated conversation by 2 trained facilitators who have been trained to talk about topics related to aging. This is a safe space for everyone to share and explore topics in greater depth, and offers an opportunity to connect with others in our Village community.

Presented by Cascadia Health: Conversations on Aging in partnership with NE Village.

Come visit our booth at this neighborhood farmers market!

The office will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.

This group meets monthly. Depending on the size of the group we will meet either in one of our homes or in a room at the Rose City Park United Methodist Church. Our goal is to have a quiet, comfortable place where people can hear each other and share feelings, thoughts and questions in a supportive environment.

The group is intended to serve anyone who has suffered a loss recently or in the past and is looking for support in navigating a new reality, sharing their experience or finding resources to cope with grief, loss or the challenges of living on one’s own.

There is no moderator for this group. We are simply people who share the experience of having lost someone dear to us and are looking for support or to provide support to others in a similar situation.
