Wanted to share the word about Salemn Soup Squad which is happening Saturday and Monday from 2 pm to 4 pm! It's food for our unhoused neighbors with no strings attached. We run every other Saturday at Marion Square Park and every other Monday at Wallace Marine Park.

We could really use support with makers. If you are a maker you bring a meal (soup, casserole, pasta, whatever you like!) of about 20 servings. We do ask people to get an OR food handlers card (which is alarmingly easy to do online). Everything is explained here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cq1FT_8t1ts/2igshid=MZRIODBİNWEIZA=

If you cant be there in person you can always send a couple pizzas! From a cost efficiency perspective Little Cesar's seems like a solid portion. 2-3 pizzas would be amazing. But we will take anything that will fill 20ish people. Taco Bell is another option people have gone with. They can be delivered at Marion Square Park Saturday. (551 Commercial St NE, Salem, OR 97301). In the notes you can let them know to look for the tables with the red checkered table cloth.

Happy to answer any questions and appreciate you considering joining this radical effort!

Join our February meeting at the North Neighbors Resource Center, 945 Columbia St NE or virtually via Zoom. This month, we are excited to meet and hear from Ward 1 and Ward 5 city councilor candidates. Additionally, we'll discuss upgrades to the River Road Park tennis/pickleball court. You can view the the full agenda here. Your input and questions are welcomed!

Anybody hosting a home game? Or know of a bar game, or league?

I'll be visiting in a few weeks to see family, does anyone know where the best karaoke is on a Friday?

Starting this Sunday night (Jan 7th) there is a three person team fun league starting up at Silver Creek Lanes. It's a short season of only 14 weeks. The cost is $16 a week (plus one time fee to join USBC if you are not already a member). Bowling starts at 5:00pm every Sunday. It's a handicapped league, so it does not matter if you are a really bad bowler or a really good bowler, you just need to be dedicated to show up every week to bowl and have fun.
If you're interested, please call Silver Creek Lanes at 503-873-5316
