There may only be 30 days in June, but the month is chock-full of reasons to celebrate. In addition to Father's Day, Flag Day, and Juneteenth, June is also Pride Month — and there are many more celebratory events throughout the month that you may not even know about. From fun, food-centric national days (like National Egg Roll Day and National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day) to serious days of remembrance (like D-Day and National Cancer Survivors Day), June's holidays and observances include important dates and shareable occasions for everyone.
Before summer 2022 officially begins on June 21, the last days of spring include a wide range of holidays, including the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, the Christian holiday of Pentecost, and the British Sovereign ceremony of Trooping the Colour, among others. And then once summer hits, you can look forward to plenty of other traditions, ranging from Take Your Dog to Work Day to National Waffle Iron Day. From the solemn to the silly to the sentimental, here is a comprehensive list of holidays and observances taking place in June 2022. And here's hoping your June is full of warm weather, pool parties, and plenty of opportunities to gather with loved ones!

Join us this Monday! June 6th at 6:00 pm
Culture and Cultural Identities
During this session, we will explore our own cultural dimensions, our relationship with them, and the role they play in cross-cultural interactions. Our objective is to connect our cultural identities to our values and behaviors. As a result, we can identify and promote cultural behaviors in the workplace and beyond that advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Upcoming in our DEI Series
3. Implicit Bias
Unconscious or implicit bias is something we all have. It is learned and developed since birth and influences our leadership and interactions. It is embedded in many of the systems in which we operate. Uncovering and understanding bias is life-long work. During this session, we’ll explore skills, mindsets, and tools that will support becoming aware of and countering our biases for the long-term with the goal of mitigating bias to advance equity in our everyday interactions and systems. September 12, 2022
4. Microaggressions
The workshop will help to develop awareness around microaggressions, build skills to recognize microaggressions in yourself and others, and learn ways to interrupt them. We will build awareness of how cultural narratives create dynamics resulting in microaggressions and how this affects our interactions and their consequences. We will learn practical ways for continued growth in our DEI Journeys. October 24, 2022
5. Identity-Based Privilege and Disadvantage
We will explore the historical contexts of systemic oppression, and learn about social identity groups and systems of inclusion and exclusion. To advance in our DEI journey it is important to understand your own privilege and intersectionality, and how to leverage your privilege to interrupt power dynamics in your networks. You will learn ways to support disadvantaged groups and how to practice DEI values in your daily life. December 5, 2022
6. Anti-Racist Behavior and Allyship
What is the difference between being anti-racist and being nonracist? We will explore how forms and expressions of racism work in tandem with each other to maintain a system of dominance, othering, and advantage/disadvantage based on race and other identities. We will learn anti-racist behaviors and strategies from a social justice standpoint, and what it means to be a compassionate ally. January 23, 2023

Rose City Park Neighborhood Association
Free Summer "Picnic in the Park Concerts"
Rose City Park NE 62nd Av. and NE Thompson Street
July 23, 6-8pm RCPNA will host Lil’ Queenie for their annual Picnic in the Park Concert at Rose City Park. The concert will be set amphitheater-style in the northwest corner of the park near the playground, and neighbors are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics to the show.
While you may think Lil’ Queenie is a reference to Linda LeClair and her baritone saxophone, it’s actually a reference to the Natchez trace variety of blues developed in New Orleans which permeates the band’s set-list to guarantee that every show has folks dancing – or at least bopping their heads. The seven fellas that join Linda on stage, Mark La Rue Todd, Eldo Caddy, Bill Lamb, Tim Helm, David Mitchell, and Max DeSax, supply the vocals, guitars, keyboard, trumpet, drums, and saxophone for the 1960’s hits and original songs, too. You can learn more about Lil’ Queenie and get a preview of their sound on Facebook, YouTube, or on their homepage: www.lilqueenie.net.
We can’t wait to sing, dance, and mingle with you on July 23!
RCPNA’s 2022 Picnic in the Park Concert was made possible because of a Central Northeast Neighbors (CNN) Small Grant award through the City of Portland Office of Community and Civic Life. RCPNA is acquiring a Noise Variance Permit to provide amplified music in a public space and while we would like to jam all night, the show will end at 8 pm to respect our neighbor’s evening quiet time. Members of the RCPNA Board and various committees will be on-hand to answer questions and share Association updates.

Fred Meyer Junior Parade
Hollywood District
Date: June 08, 2022 Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
From the moment the lovable Fred Bear cuts the ribbon to kick off the Fred Meyer Junior Parade, fun reigns. Children come from all parts of the city to join in: dressing in costume, transforming wagons into floats, decorating their bikes with colorful flowers, or just parading with their friends and family. Elementary and Middle School marching bands fill the Hollywood District with song, and dance teams add swirls of color to the celebration. No matter how they participate in this pint-size parade, the kids enjoy their moment in the spotlight on Fox 12 Plus live, local television.
From the very beginning, the Portland Rose Festival has celebrated our community’s children. The first Rose Festival in 1907 included a children’s parade of 2,000 boys and girls representing 23 schools! An official Rose Festival event since 1936, the Junior Parade is the nation’s oldest and largest children’s parade.

What Could Tolling Look Like on
I-5 and I-205?
Project Status is currently in the initial planning phase for the Regional Mobility Pricing Project, which evaluates congestion pricing, a type of tolling, the entire I-5 and I-205 corridor in the Portland metropolitan region. In 2022, ODOT will study project options, identify strategies to assist low-income drivers and historically excluded and underserved communities, and invite public input. ODOT will partner with local agencies and transit providers to guide ODOT's commitments for transit and other multimodal improvements with toll projects.
Thank you for taking our survey! ODOT received several thousand responses to our online survey in May. Community perspectives will shape the project design, ways we can design a toll discount or credit for people experiencing low incomes, and other ways to make this change work for the Portland metropolitan region. We hope you will continue to stay engaged! Please stay tuned for future public input opportunities and a summary of what we heard from the survey and community engagement in spring 2022.
What we've heard: Last year, travelers and community members shared their thoughts about congestion pricing in the Portland metropolitan area. Learn more here about what we heard from briefings, discussion groups, and over 6,500 survey responses. Don't have time to read the full report? See our November 2021 newsletter with key takeaways or watch a video to learn more about what community engagement liaisons heard from their communities.

City of Portland One Point of Contact
To report issues of illegal camping or related garbage within Portland the City of Portland’s One Point of Contact Campsite Reporting System is the mechanism community members can use. The following youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXSc6cr4WuY) describes how to use the system to make a report. It shows how the City and Central City Concern’s Clean Start Program respond to those reports.
It can be very frustrating for community members to raise issues with the City. It is not always clear how to make reports and to whom. The City’s One Point of Contact Campsite Reporting System is designed to simplify the process by providing a platform to more easily report issues about campsites. https://www.portlandoregon.gov/toolkit/70039
Two ways to report a campsite using the One Point of Contact Campsite Reporting System. Please use just ONE of the following methods:
-
PDX Reporter. Select the "Campsite Reporting" icon on the main menu.
- Call 311.
**Please note that not all reports result in immediate action by the City. Every site reported is reviewed and analyzed.** Whether using PDX Reporter or calling 311, the exact location of the site is needed.
https://www.portland.gov/transportation/parking/abandoned-auto
If you are reporting criminal activity/behavior, report it directly to Police. If you are reporting an emergency, call 9-1-1
The homelessness crisis touches all of our lives. People experiencing homelessness are part of our neighborhoods and communities as much as anyone else. The City of Portland's Street Services Coordination Center (SSCC) is a collaboration between the City and Multnomah County that provides services to our homeless neighbors. The SSCC engages in outreach to people experiencing homelessness and has put together this list of resources for both housed and unhoused Portlanders:
If you can identify the store logo and/or phone number on the cart, please contact the cart's store (New Seasons, Fred Meyer, etc.) directly as many stores would like to retrieve their carts!

Hollywood Senior Center Community
“When the sun is shining, I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble is too difficult to overcome.” —Wilma Rudolph
WITH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, the onset of warm weather and numerous outdoor activities to enjoy, June signals the arrival of summer and is a month many of us look forward to. From graduations and weddings, the return of the Junior Rose Parade on June 8, to Father’s Day, PRIDE Month, Juneteenth, and our own Summer Block Party on June 25, this month offers much to celebrate!
After a challenging two years that saw many events cancelled, postponed, or marked in a less visible way, there is now a feeling of optimism and renewal in the air. As more and more Oregonians have gotten vaccinated and the booster, we have turned a corner in the continued direction of the slow and cautious reopening of our community.
This June is an exciting time for us, as we welcome back Meals on Wheels on Tuesdays and the Senior Law Project in-person on Fridays. Additionally, there are many great talks and activities scheduled for this month, along with opportunities to get outside and resources for staying cool and safe during the warmer months. Over the last two years, CFPA-HSC succeeded in not only shifting our programming to virtual and socially distanced modes, but also expanding services considerably in response to the needs of our community during the pandemic. We found new ways to fulfill our mission by providing critical support services, connecting seniors to technology and virtual community, and increasing our case management and direct services to provide more wraparound support.
We played a vital role in providing referrals and assisting with critical resources to meet health care, housing, technology access and transportation needs. We are supporting our clients remotely in their homes to address increased health and mental health concerns, depression, social isolation, and food insecurity.
It gives us great joy and purpose to continue to welcome folks back to in-person events at the Center. For the safety of our community, we ask that all participants wear a mask and be fully vaccinated. At the same time, we understand that many of you are not ready to return to in-person programming, so we will continue to provide virtual programming too. CFPA-HSC will continue to adapt to the emerging needs and interests of the communities we serve. Wishing you all a joyous, full, and safe summer ahead! We hope to connect with you soon!
Warmly,

To accommodate more people during the staffing and capacity challenges facing Portland Parks & Recreation, PP&R is opening summer registration for four weeks at a time per the below schedule.
PP&R notes that community members should expect customer service delays related to capacity and appreciates Portlanders’ patience.
Early Registration Opens: Friday, June 17, 2022, at 12:30pm
