 Freshwater mussel |
Volunteer Opportunity!When: Sat, Sep 24, 2011 10AM-1:30PM |
Find Freshwater Mussels
The City and Johnson Creek Watershed Council seek volunteers to come learn about these creatures and spend two hours searching for them from 10AM to 1:30PM on Saturday Sep 24 in Gresham. All ages welcome.
Last year's survey results were astounding. Extensive beds of Western pearlshell mussels were identified. This, and finding four adult Coho salmon last fall, tells us the Gresham reaches of Johnson Creek are able to once again support these native fish. Probably in part due to the cleaning power of the mussels!
 Annual Teddy Bear Parade |
Bring Your Bear!When: Sat, Sep 24, 2011 10AM-12PM |
Teddy Bears Everwhere
The parade will feature floats from local merchants, service organizations, schools, neighborhood groups and individuals. As always, participants will be carrying teddy bears or will be dressed in bear costumes.
For nearly three decades, the Soroptimists have put on this annual Fall parade to celebrate the “child in all of us” and create a tradition that helped Gresham’s “quaint and special downtown area” to thrive. In addition to the parade, the Soroptimists organize fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for scholarships for deserving women and girls in our community.

Pack a Picnic, Bring a Blanket
"A mysterious criminal mastermind has stolen one of the pyramids in Egypt, sparking a fit of jealous envy in evil genius Gru, who hasn't managed to make headlines since he and his minions swiped the Times Square JumboTron years back. Ever since Gru was a little boy, he dreamed of going to the moon. Now, if Gru can just build a rocket and get his hands on a powerful shrink-ray, he can cement his reputation as the greatest thief who ever lived by stealing --- the Earth's satellite."
Join us for Cinema Under the Stars night at HB Lee Middle School. Bring a chair or blanket and enjoy a free showing of 4-star rated Despicable Me, rated PG. Despicable Me is a surprisingly thoughtful, family-friendly treat with a few surprises of its own. Fun begins at 7:00PM, and the movie will start at dusk.
