Events

South Burlingame Neighborhood Association is involved in many events. Some neighbors like to organize events like picnics and block parties. Others prefer to work around environmental issues, where neighbors participate in park cleanups and stream restorations, while other neighborhs are involved in land use issues, carefully monitering livability concerns. All activities make a differece and there is bound to be something that appeals to everyone, find out how you can get involved by attending a South Burlingame neighborhood meeting.
 

Events

National Night Out (August)

National Night Out is a huge success with over 175 families gathering in the Park in 2010. Folks walked to this event for the most part towing trikes, dogs, youngsters and picnic baskets of food. We learned about sustainable gardens and current projects in South Burlingame. The event was such a hit that folks want to plan 1-2 similiar events a year. Talk has already started about future Easter Egg hunts in the Spring and pumpkin parties in the Fall. Many thanks to our volunteers and local businesses including Pronto Pup for providing snow cones, Bella's Garage for ice coffee and the City of Portland for their on-going support.
