As we begin to enjoy the change in seasons, we’re also looking forward to a change to this month’s lunch.

We’re combining our eastside group with our downtown group not only to enjoy each other’s company, but to focus our time together in preparation for our annual Christmas lunch.

Our speaker Jesse Jackson was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, received his Bachelor’s degree in Construction Engineering Management from Oregon State University and for the last 8 years worked for Raimore Construction as General Manager.

More recently, Jesse has been co-hosting the monthly eastside lunches for the past 6 years and has taken an active role in our annual Christmas lunch program.

He and his wife Rachael have three children: Jesse, Jacob and, Joy.

We will be meeting in the lower lounge at The University Club.

1225 SW 6th Ave, Portland, OR 97204

Show Up! November 24, 2020

The necessity of intentionality. How do we live authentically together? What does intentional community look like?

Civility from the Margins November 4, 2020

After two episodes about how men are stupid, the community turns our conversation to civility in the midst of these troubled times: election anxiety, violence in Portland's streets and continued racial inequity.

Richard Twiss (June 11, 1954- February 9th, 2013) Seven years ago, our brother Richard was taken from this earth into the arms of the Creator. I, Tony, for one miss him deeply.
