DEPAVE YOUR DRIVEWAY! The folks at Depave are excited to offer a new Depave-It-Yourself workshop on May 5th 2012! This one-day class will focus on implementing a successful depaving project right in your front (or back) yard. The workshop will cover the full gamut to prepare homeowners to free their own soil – from site design, utility locating, the permitting process, pavement removal, disposal, and greenscaping options. Take-home instruction materials and lunch will be provided. You will be instructed by professional depavers, landscape designers, and construction managers. GET CERTIFIED AS A DEPAVE AFFILIATE! After completing this workshop, you will be certified as a Depave Affiliate. Depave will then promote your depaving project so you can get help from our ground-breaking volunteers from around Portland. We can also loan you some of our hand tools for your project.

The Greater Gresham Baptist Church is renovating the old Zion Church on NE 9th and Fremont, across from Irving Park. The Volga German community built the church in 1914 for a cost of $20,000. Services were held in German until the 1960s. Over the years, as the Volga German population dispersed throughout Portland, the church lost membership. Eventually, the congregation built another church in outer east Portland. For more church history, see the Volga Germans in Portland website.
