Jump Start Meet-Ups

April 14, 2012 By Becky Kjelstrom Leave a Comment

Jump Start Meet-Ups are small discussion groups based on specific topics.

Meetings will be in coffee shops and cafes, informal but consistently available when scheduled. NO formal registration is required. Meet-Ups will be held monthly and will last from one to three hours.

Interested in becoming a Jump Start Meet-Up Leader?  We need members willing to answer some questions about OWC, and members who want to connect with others to share information on specific topics. Leaders would be willing to track attendance, and write small evaluations of the events. They do not have to be experts, or know everything… just willing to share ideas, resources, connect, and agree to find OWC answers for folks. Be sure to add your name to the contact sheet if you want to lead a Meet-Up.

Scheduled Meet-Ups:

September 24th, 6:30pm -9:00pm
TaborSpace, 5441 Southeast Belmont St. Portland, OR 97215 503.238.3904
