Stark Street Pizza was already booked for this Sunday night, so our next meeting will be held at The Alibi. There is no show and tell this time, so we won’t need to worry about lighting issues.
Alibi Restaurant and Lounge
4024 North Interstate Avenue, Portland
Sandra from MCMBuild and others who worked on the Belluschi project will be attending the MCMLeague’s meeting this Sunday at the Alibi! They can answer any questions you may have about the project.
There may also be someone with them from the Board of Palm Springs Modernism week to answer questions. They are also looking for some volunteers to help out that week! So if you are going or know someone who wants to go, you’ll want to attend this meeting. All questions will be answered, and there are benefits if you volunteer at the event!
Do you know of a place in your neighborhood, or a place you have been that has a banquet room, or can handle a dozen people or a few more? If so, post here! Or bring to the info to the next meeting. It would be great to support some local businesses that have been around for decades, and I’m sure they would enjoy people who appreciate it!
If you would also like to open up your home for a meeting, let us know. We’re always looking for great places to have our meetings. We have a few spots on our radar, but would be great to have a list of places to choose from.

It’s a 1950s & 60s New Years, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas jubilee that’s sure to get you in the mood for the all the holidays like you never have before! IN COLOR!
