OAK LODGE HISTORY DETECTIVES
ANNUAL MEETING & MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL

Oak Lodge Water Services Bldg.
14496 S.E. River Rd. @ Maple St.

Greetings:

Fall is upon us (finally) and it’s time for OLHD to resume its quest for knowledge of, and preservation of, our local history.

As required by the OLHD Bylaws our October meeting will be dedicated to elections, membership renewals, new members, and changes to our Bylaws.

As decided by the OLHD membership all memberships will be based on a calendar year from now on, and due at the Annual Meeting. Dues will remain at $15 per year ($20 for couples) and members may pay for 2 years at a time if they wish. If you have been thinking about joining OLHD this is your opportunity to do so. So BRING YOUR CHECKBOOKS.

Our Annual Meeting is also the time we elect or re-elect officers. This year only the Secretary position will need to be filled. The term for this position is for 2 years. Our current Secretary, Mary Piper, will not be running for re-election. OLHD thanks Mary for her dedicated service during the last 2 years. If you are interested in contributing to OLHD’s management please contact me. OLHD needs volunteers to continue bringing local history to the community.

As mentioned earlier in the year OLHD’s Bylaws need updating. Though the Bylaw committee has not yet met there will be at least one important Bylaw that we need to vote to change to add more flexibility.

We’ll also be catching up on history-related news and activities since we last met.

Please join us on Oct. 11th so that we may resume our charge of “Investigating the Past, and Enriching the Future”.

At this next meeting we’ll approve the April Minutes, bring you up to date regarding the Jennings Lodge ERC Section 106 process, remind you of this summer’s Trolley Trail Fest in Oak Grove, and review other local history-related events.

April 2018 OLHD Meeting

Our next OLHD meeting is coming up fast, so be sure and get it on your calendar.

At this meeting we will be explaining OLHD's new Membership Renewal Plan — you'll learn how, and when you can renew or join OLHD, and the benefits available to OLHD members.

We'll also point out the new content recently posted on the OLHD website, and our plans to continue adding more.

We'll give you updates on the Concord School transition to North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District ownership, and the status of the Jennings Lodge ERC Section 106 process — both involving OLHD.

OLHD maintains an extensive Digital Archive, but most people only get a glimpse of its contents once in a while and it is constantly being added to. The evening program will be "A stroll through the OLHD Digital Archives" so we can all get a better sense of what the archive consists of, and how its being managed.

If you have something you would like to include on the evening's agenda please forward it to me by the end of the day Monday, April 9th.

We look forward to seeing you April 12th.
