The Orchard District Neighborhood Association is a non-profit organization that connects residents, businesses, and local government about land use, transportation, and other community issues. We are recognized by the City of Bend as one of 13 Neighborhood Districts<\/a> <\/strong>(formerly and commonly referred to as Neighborhood Associations) that are consulted on a variety of decisions.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Orchard District Neighborhood Board is a volunteer board that is voted in by the members of the association to represent the neighborhood and manage its finances and activities. Anyone who lives, works, and rents or owns property within the neighborhood boundaries is considered a member. Please sign up for the email list to register your membership. Voting takes place at the annual neighborhood meeting, which is typically held in April or May rotating at various venues throughout the Orchard District (previous locations: Hollinshead Barn, Open Space Studios, Pilot Butte Middle School). The governing document is the by-laws<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connecting with your Neighborhood District helps you stay informed about what’s happening in your neighborhood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
