May’s public meeting will be held at Hawthorne Vintage – a 6000 square foot vintage retail store located at on Hawthorne Blvd. This store has a unique array of mid-century furnishings provided by a dozen vintage dealers. The store normally closes at 6pm, but we’ve made arrangements to have the store remain open for our league meeting.
This month’s show-n-tell topic will be about tips for furniture repair and restoration. We will discuss products to use for cleaning and reconditioning, and answer questions about how to get that piece of furniture to sparkle. Bring in any handyman books, magazines or articles that you would like to share with the group.

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

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!

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/

MCM League member Tracy Ball is giving an informative 20 x 20 presentation (20 slides x 20 seconds) about us at PechaKucha night in Portland!
Thursday, April 15, 7:00pm
Sandbox Studio
420 NE 9th Avenue, Portland, OR [view map]
What is PechaKucha?
“Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.”
It’s going to be a fun, entertaining evening. The presentations cover topics all over the map, some serious, some funny, some informational, but none will be over 5 minutes long, so you can’t go wrong! We hope you can join us.
