SPENCER BUTTE neighborhood association (SBNA)
Located just south of Eugene, Oregon
What is SBNA?
The Spencer Butte Neighborhood Association (SBNA) is an all-volunteer, non-political group connecting people living in the Spencer Butte area with each other and keeping ourselves informed about issues that affect us.
SBNA Local Neighborhood Groups
SBNA is divided into ten local neighborhood groups to facilitate communication with our nearby neighbors. Each local group decides on its activities and has a leader.
