Case file: T2-09-043
Location: 18015 NW Sauvie island Rd.
Applicant: Mike Hashem
Proposal: Willamette River Greenway Permit for a gazebo, pergolas and concrete walkway that were placed on the property without permits.

Please remember to look at the sign on the bridge- it still reads NO BURNING! Just because it is raining a little now does not make it safe to burn yet- the sun will come out in a day or so again and the fires have a way of staying ‘dormant’ for days (smoldering and trailing along unnoticed) and then ignite with great fury! It happens every year and it would be great if all people would pay attention this year to the sign or call the fire department if you are in doubt BEFORE lighting a fire.

Please do not risk burning your home or your neighbor’s by burning debris, brush, etc. at this time! This would be a good time to review with your family an action plan in case of fire. Check your smoke alarms, hoses, etc.

Thank you,
Lora Creswick
Sauvie Island Community Association
(Formerly known as “The Boosters”)

Sauvie Island School is off to another great year. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful community school and support from our neighbors.

The students at Sauvie Island School are selling the local Portland Entertainment books for $20/book. If you frequently purchase an Entertainment book and would be interested in supporting our fundraising efforts, please consider one of the following choices:
1. Contact any student that you know or live near to order a book.
2. Stop by the school between 9 am and 3 pm to purchase a book.
3. Email me here and I will arrange a delivery to your home.

All proceeds will be used to purchase a document camera and projector for the 3rd/4th and 5th /6th grade rooms….technology that changes the way our teachers will present information. (very exciting)

If you have questions, please email them to me. If you wish to be removed from this email list, let me know.

Sincerely,
Kathy Stephenson

We were pleased to be able to award six $500 scholarships to island residents this year. We appreciate all of those who submitted an application and know they made it a very difficult decision because all of them were worthy of our support. The 2009 recipients were Madeleine Morawski who will be attending Georgetown University; Adam Seay, for advanced study at Concordia University for his Masters in Teaching; Stacy Sprando will be attending medical school at the Oregon Health Sciences University; Anna Tomlinson and Jorie Ruud will both be attending the University of Oregon; Ashley Woolbright will at studying at Portland Community College. Our best wishes to all of these outstanding young people. Their names have been added to the educational plaque recognizing their achievement within our community.

Our charity starts on the island with support of our school and volunteer fire department. We provide dictionaries to all Sauvie Island School third graders very year. We donate clothing and toys to the Children’s Relief Nursery in St Johns and food and clothing to the Women’s Shelter in St Helens. We support national groups such as the American Red and the Salvation Army. We are most proud of our annual scholarship program. Since 1983, we annually award scholarships to islanders seeking to continue their education beyond secondary school. We publish a quarterly community calendar that goes out to all islanders and island telephone directory once every three years.
