Community Outreach

One of the topics that was discussed at the May 2nd meeting was how to reach out to members of the Neahkahnie community who are not currently members of the Community Club.

The Executive Committee has already taken several steps to do this.  Kay and Walt Covert included a link to the Club’s new web site in their mailing to all property owners earlier this year. We also included a flyer inviting Neahkahnie property owners to check out the club with the Neahkahnie Water District bills that went out at the end of April. In addtion, we have gotten the Club listed under “Community Organizations” on the Neahkahnie.net web site. So far, these efforts have resulted in numerous “hits” on the web site and a few new members.

As was discussed at the meeting, the best way to reach out to other members of our community is through direct face-to-face contact.  If you have a neighbor who is new to the community or who does not currently belong to the Club you can let them know what we do and invite them to join.  As a way to help with this, a link to a color version of the membership invitation flyer that was sent out with the water bills is included below.  A copy is also available under the “pages” section on the right.  Feel free to download and print copies of this invitation and give one to community members who may be interested in the Club.

May 2, 2009 Meeting


A meeting of tne Neahkahnie Community Club was held on May 2, 2009.  The meeting was well attended and we had a lively discussion of the proposed amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws.

The proposed amendments were approved with a few minor changes offered by members at the meeting.  A copy of the new Constitution and By-Laws is now available for viewing and download under the “pages” heading on the right. Under the revised By-Laws this was the only scheduled business meeting for the year.  The next business meeting will be the Annual Meeting to be held in May 2010.  If there is a need to take action that cannot be handled by the Executive Committee before then, the revised By-Laws allow the Executive Committee to schedule a special meeting.

Members attending the meeting enjoyed a post-meeting dessert of pies provided by the Club from the Nehalem Bay Pie Company.  A few lucky members also took home the plants that were used as decorations on each table as door prizes.

A couple of pictures of members enjoying pie and conversation are below.
