I just had this gathering pointed out to me and thought that the folks in Portland would like to have a chance to hear the presentation and have a chance to talk with the Our Ocean people about MRs over a beer.

Thats' what I was thinking. Except I think the TA meeting should start at 6:00.

Yep - most of the people attending the "Our Ocean" meeting probably have never spent a day on "Our Ocean".

Sounds good - I now have an Ocean I need to be concerned about - since I know nothing about it - let's not allow anyone access to it.

Yep...

How about hosting an "Our City" meeting in Newport or Garibaldi where we get to discuss land planning issues in Portland. After all, isn't Portland "Our City"? Of course the response would be "well, you don't live or work in Portland so you have no say here". But to take that same position about the Ocean "well, you dont live or work on the Ocean so you have no say here" doesn't fly does it.

I know, blaw, blaw, blaw.
