SPENCER BUTTE
neighborhood association
WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Established in 1954
Spencer Butte Neighborhood Association’s mission is to ensure our neighbors connected and informed.
The Spencer Butte Neighborhood Association (SBNA) was formed in 1954 as a way to keep neighbors connected and informed of things happening in our rural setting. Our organization has gone through many transformations over the years. In its present state, the SBNA maintains itself as a social organization along with community education and awareness, as it strives to keep neighbors connected and informed about local issues and concerns.
SBNA Local Neighborhood Groups
SBNA is subdivided into ten local neighborhood groups to communicate with our nearby neighbors and work together on projects. Each group decides its own activities and approach. Local group activities include maintaining text group for emergencies (e.g. “I see smoke on your property”), maintaining an list for non-emergency information (e.g. xxx), being a registered Firewise Communities, and having periodic get togethers.
Each local group has a leader. To connect with your local group, e-mail contactus@SBNA.net.
