Now is the time to get those creative juices flowing and for Reed Neighborhood to receive a new, fresh logo. You can showcase your talents and offer up your ideas for what best represents the spirit and energy of our neighborhood. Bring your suggested logo to our next general meeting on October 11 and we will vote on the new logo. So exciting… The lucky winner will not only get the joy of creating something that may live on in the neighborhood, but a prize is in it for you…

The RNA will meet on September 13 at 6:30pm. Meetings are held at the Reed Performing Arts Building (3203 SE Woodstock Blvd). All residents, owners, and businesses in the Reed neighborhood are welcome to attend. Main agenda items include planning the general meeting and neighborhood cleanup. Find the full agenda attached.

Agenda 09 13 16

When it’s time to buy a new refrigerator, freezer or clothes washer, you may be tempted to hang on to your old appliance as “backup.” However, those old appliances can add hundreds of dollars to your utility bill every year.

Energy Trust will handle all the heavy lifting with free in-home pickup, recycle your unit responsibly and you’ll get a cash incentive of $30.
