Our newsletter needs your
help
Dear
Neighborhood Newsletter Contributor,
It is time to start thinking of stories,
articles, or other items of interest you’d
like to share with Mt. Tabor residents.
There is always lots going on in the
neighborhood that others would love to hear
about. So sharpen your
pencils (or whatever writing implement you
use) and get busy writing.
The deadline for submitting items for
the next newsletter is fast approaching,
so take some time from your other
activities to put together a piece for the
newsletter. The MTNA
newsletter strives for articles that are
succinct since the newsletter is only eight
pages. If you could stick to about 200
words, that would be great. 250 words will
work if you can't say it all in 200! We may
edit your article for space or content
reasons or at your request.
We
publish articles specifically about
Mt. Tabor individuals, organizations,
issues, and news events. We can use (and
appreciate) high quality black and white
photos or art work. Creative pieces are
sometimes included. Please contact Nadine
at
fiedler@alumni.reed.edu if
you have a question about the
appropriateness of your article.
The
newsletter is hand-delivered to 4,500 Mt.
Tabor households.
We
look forward to receiving an article from
you.
Sincerely,
Gayle
Marechal

The Mt. Tabor
Neighborhood Entryway, shown here is
located on a curb extension at the
intersection of SE 50th Ave. and Hawthorne
Blvd. Featuring a two-sided monument
welcoming visitors to the neighborhood, it
was created by volunteers under the
leadership of MTNA activist John Laursen.
