Next MCMLeague Meeting – April 25th 6pm

Monday, April 19th, 2010

rummer2    rummer1

The MCMLeague’s next meeting will be held April 25th at 6pm – this month’s meeting will be held at a recently joined member’s home, this time a Robert Rummer home in Beaverton! Jeffrey and Todd have been gracious enough to open up their recently purchased Rummer, and are excited to share it with other members.

Last month’s meeting was held at a Rummer house in Gresham, and the topic was “Home Renovation/Remodeling” – since it is spring and many of you are thinking of outside projects this summer, it would be fun to have a discussion topic at the next meeting focused toward mid-century landscaping, gardening, patios, decks, etc. Bring any books, photos, or stories to the meeting to share!

Some snacks and wine will be provided, but we ask you to help contribute by bringing a hot dish or some snacks and beverages.

MCMLeague Monthly Meeting – April 25th, 6pm
Jeffrey & Todd’s Rummer Home – Beaverton
13770 SW Bonnie Brae St. Beaverton, OR 97005

Last meeting we handed out grocery totes with the MCMLeague logo on it to paid members. We will bring the ones for members who could not join us last month to the next meeting. We hope to see you!

Portland’s Modern Home Tour “Street of Eames” – April 16

Friday, April 16th, 2010
Street of Eames

Street of Eames is Portland’s annual modern home tour. Each April, this citywide event recognizes the city’s best examples of mid-century modern and contemporary modern residential architecture.

The goal of the tour, however, is to raise money for after-school programs for homeless students at two Portland public schools – Chapman Elementary in NW Portland, and Beach Elementary in N Portland. Street of Eames is essentially a home tour to help the homeless.

This year’s tour includes architectural marvels from: Oringdulph, Path, Rummer, Seed, Storrs, Waechter, White and Yeon.

To see photos of homes on the tour, including previous year’s homes, go to http://streetofeames.com/
