whole tract (at the corner of NE Glisan and Laddington)Mr. Henry and his new wife, Eugenia, bought nearly ten lots and erected an extravagantly beautiful house. They spent upwards of $60,000 on the house and grounds at a time when $3,000 bought a nice house. The Oregonian did an article hailing it as an East Side Landmark on 26 Feb 1911 and included several black and white photographs of some of its beautiful interiors. In October 1910, Mr. Henry resigned his position as President of the Laurelhurst Company and would say only he was tired of being a figurehead in the office. Ultimately, he decided to relocate to Pasadena, California permanently. It took him a number of years to dispose of his many real estate holdings in Portland, including the Henry Building which still stands downtown. In Feb 1912, the Oregonian published a full-page tribute, Upbuilding of Portland Great Achievement of Charles K. Henry, boasting of his career in Portland. By June 1913, the Henry family grand mansion was put on the auction block. It received two bids; the winning bid was for $41,000 and the house was sold

Newsletter: advertising and delivery, Presenters: Nancy Schwartz. Schwartz shares that her job working on advertising is time-consuming. Ad revenue is declining. Concern that there is no oversight with the content of the newsletter. The font is bigger, and the newsletter is much longer. Summarizing the minutes with a smaller font is an idea. The only requirement for the newsletter is that the agenda is in the newsletter. Section 7, Article 6: the board shall
adopt guidelines for the newsletter editor. The objective: provide information relative to the neighborhood and generate revenue for the newsletter and the LNA. Newsletter guidelines will be on agenda for February Board Meeting. Portland Providence Medical. The annual committee meeting was on Nov 6. The discussion was about the guest housing facility on the Moore Lithograph building. They are looking at demolition as early as this spring. Through the GNA, feedback from LNA and North Tabor NA was added to the Providence Plan. The standing committee meeting transportation work group (the prime subcommittee) issues will be discussed on January 8th. Issues have to do with transportation and North Tabor NA issues. Good example of a GNA working (connects to the Word of Life Church issue). Adjourn
