[Title changed from Portland, Oregon Meeting? --admin LadyGeek]

Haven't heard from the Portland organizers for a while now. Anyone near Portland, Oregon want to meet sometime in the near future?

My husband and I, in NE Portland, are in our mid-thirties and just finally starting to get going on investing. We've just recently opened up a Roth IRA through Vanguard and are reading up on investing in general and Vanguard, index funds, asset allocation, etc. specifically. We'd be interested in any local meetings on the subject, unless we're required to be experts, which we're not (though slowly working on it).

Craig,

I just learned of the Bogleheads site and registered this morning. I've been writing an investment blog for three months. My investing experience began in the late 1950s so I've seen a lot of changes.

I am still too new to this site to provide links to my blog, but you will find it if you Google Lowell Herr.

I was sorry to miss William Bernstein at Powell's but I was out of town.

I Would also be interested in a Meeting of the Portland Diehards.

Hello all interested Portland Diehards.

I organized the coffee meeting with Bill Bernstein on Mother's day, and have an email list of around a dozen local folks of whom about 5 attended.

I'd be happy to organize a meeting of interested Portland Diehards in the next month or so, but I'm going out of town for a few weeks, and will be incommunicado. PM me with your email address if you are interested, and I will add you to the list and will take action when I return

How about a meeting in November during Civil War week just before the Ducks get their annual whipping? :lol:

I had the pleasure of attending the first two (and possibly only) meetings of the Oregon Bogleheads a couple of years ago. I highly recommend it.

baldeagle · Post by **baldeagle** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:39 pm

Bruce,

Yesterday (finally!) I sent email to all 15 names I have on the list to discuss an organizing meeting in September. I thought you were one of them. Did you receive it?

Ron

greensky · Post by **greensky** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 2:03 am

If there are Portland meetings, I would be interested in getting on the mailing list.

Thanks!

Hi Ron:

If you'd like me to add a Portland Oregon Diehards Local Chapter as a new chapter with you as the coordinator, PM me with your e-mail contact and I'll make your group a new Chapter.

Or, if you want to be listed as the new coordinator for the old "Oregon" chapter, let me know that, too. (I'm not sure if the old "Oregon" chapter is still operating or not.) And, if you'd like to change the old "Oregon" chapter name to Portland OR, let me know that, too.

Regards,

Mel

baldeagle · Post by **baldeagle** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 1:23 am

Greensky -- Please PM me with your email address.

Mel -- Thanks for those options. After we have the meeting, to determine what our future is, I'll get back to you.

Ron

mr.ajandkj --

PM me and I'll put you on the list. We have a standing, quarterly meeting on the second Tuesday of the last month of each quarter. December 8th is the next. But, as Munir wrote, Oregonians are pretty laid back, so we miss a meeting sometimes.

WBern admitted at DH8 he now lives in Portland and not North Bend. So maybe a little "trolling" might get him to show up.

I've been watching this forum for awhile - are there meetings happening in Portland, or could I help revive the group? Always encouraging to talk with others with investment/life planning interests.

If you'd like a Portland Local Chapter and you'd like to be the coordinator, just PM me with your name and contact e-mail and I'll get your own chapter listed so that others can find and contact you.

Then you could use this Local Chapters forum to communicate with Chapter members about meeting dates, locations, times, agendas and any other chapter business.

tualatindave · Post by **tualatindave** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 5:22 am

I guess with a board name like mine I had better watch this post. Count me as interested in a Portland Meeting.

baldeagle · Post by **baldeagle** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 4:40 pm

Yes! There are meetings in Portland! We've been holding them once per quarter for the past few years.

If interested in being on the distribution list, please PM me. Current list has 34 names. Typical attendance ranges from 8 to 12.

Ron

ABQ4804 · Post by **ABQ4804** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:57 am

OK, I read here the Portlanders have a meeting the 2nd Tuesday of the last month of each quarter, so is that coming up on Tuesday, March 13th? I hope it is early evening as I am still working. Please let us know about this meeting - thanks!

Send Ron (above) a PM and he will add you to the notification list for the Portland chapter meeting.

Don't know if you'll get this in time, but there is a quarterly meeting tonite, Tuesday, March 13. PM me and I'll send you the specific info on location and time

Could you add me to the list? I'm from Salem but I am perfectly fine with driving up to Portland. I can't PM yet since I just joined.

orcycle · Post by **orcycle** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 12:24 pm

It seems there is an active Portland chapter, can someone please contact me to let me know when and where the next meeting will be? Thanks.

Timmay! · Post by **Timmay!** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 1:06 pm

I'd be interested in this also.

mickeyd · Post by **mickeyd** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 1:20 pm

This meeting would be a good storyline for an upcoming Portlandia episode...How about the two women (Fred & Carrie) who run the Woman and Woman Bookstore discussing one of Bogle's books or, better yet, the "Bogleheads..." book?

ABQ4804 · Post by **ABQ4804** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 9:42 pm

Send Ron ("baldeagle" - see earlier post) a PM to get on the mailing list. The Portland, Oregon meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of the last month of the quarter (March, June, Sept and Dec), dinner in NW Portland. Usually about 12 individuals, a good place to ask boglehead questions. Join us!

orcycle · Post by **orcycle** » Sat Jan 26, 2013 10:29 pm

Darn, I will be out of town for the March meeting.

I did send Ron a PM and also an email and have not heard back, so I didn't know if the chapter was still active. Sounds like it is.

Thanks alisa4804 for the info, hope to make it to the next meeting.

Meta4 · Post by **Meta4** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 11:16 pm

Hi,
I've already sent Ron a PM (I think I did anyways...) but thought I'd post here to express interest in joining the March
meet-up over in NW PDX. Just curious - does the venue change between meetings or you have a favourite place?

Jeff

srcolesrcole · Post by **srcolesrcole** » Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:15 am

It wouldn't hurt to ask five years later. Did you ever get your meeting

If not, feel free to reach out at 206-359-1319. I live and work in Portland and would be interested in attending any regular scheduled meetings or a small working group if you know of others.

Cheers. Steve Cole

I'm moving up to Portland some time next year, so I'm looking forward to such a meeting. Down here in Southern California, it's difficult to hold a meeting, because it's such a wide spread geographical area.

Here is the info on our quarterly get together next week

BruceM
----------------------------------------------------------

Hello Diehards,

Our next meeting is coming up in two weeks:
Tuesday, March 12, 6:30PM
Ling Garden Chinese Restaurant.
Ling Garden is at 915 NW 21st in Portland, http://www.linggarden.com/index.html.
As usual, please send me your suggested agenda items, and advise me if you will attend so that I may ensure we have a quorum.

Best regards,
Ron

ABQ4804 · Post by **ABQ4804** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 5:25 pm

Our quarterly meeting is next Tuesday evening, March 12th. Send Ron "baldeagle" (scroll up these messages and click on his blue name) a PM personal message about the meetings, then check your PM mailbox for the info. I have been attending for about a year, and always learn something valuable from the other participants.

letsgobobby · Post by **letsgobobby** » Mon Mar 11, 2013 12:18 am

Bumping this for any subscribers to this thread. I'm trying to wine taste at Liner and Elsen on Sat Mar 16. Unfortunately, I know it is just after the quarterly PDX meeting but I can't make that one.

I'm in the Portland area would like to come Tuesday however I can't seem to "PM" baldeagle/Ron - the messages just sit in the Outbox folder. Have sent test messages to myself and they seem to get processed just fine so I don't know what the problem is. Has Ron changed accounts or has PMs turned off?
