Neighbors throng to movie showing
A large crowd lined up to see the film "Is Wal-Mart Good for
America" at the Moreland Theater on September 22nd. The film,
originally aired by PBS, explained the disastrous effects of
Wal-Mart on local economies, jobs, and fair competition. NASAW
sponsored the showing to educate the neighborhood on the
consequences of a Wal-Mart development, proposed for the old
Goodwill site on Tacoma and McLoughlin.
Movie goers expressed support for the continued fight to keep
Wal-Mart from Sellwood/Ardenwald.
More than 200 people attended the showing. NASAW volunteers
distributed an informative brochure and fielded questions from
passers-by and the media.
NASAW needs YOU!
Do you enjoy walking to shops and the park? Do you like meeting your
friends for coffee or a meal at one of our coffee shops or
restaurants? Are you opposed to a bad neighbor like Wal-Mart
locating in our neighborhood? Do you want to save a great
neighborhood and a thriving business community? Then you are a great
candidate to serve as a NASAW volunteer.
A neighborhood campaign such as this one relies on the efforts of
volunteers to keep up the daily business of activities, staffing
events, doing data entry, and filling leadership roles. NASAW has
opportunities for you to make a big difference by donating your
time, energy, and expertise.
Join the NASAW steering committee. The steering committee meets
twice monthly to coordinate the activities of the campaign, such as
planning for events, getting updates on developer activities, and
strategic planning. Volunteer to fill a steering committee spot:
|
Community Outreach/Merchant Relations |
Recruit and organize volunteers for events. Get the word out
by distributing flyers, carrying signs, and canvassing
neighborhoods to make residents aware of the proposed
development. |
|
Web liaison |
Help enter names into our data base so we can keep neighbors
involved and up to date. The database is the email list we
use to distribute this newsletter.
