SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting for Rooted Homes’ Poplar Community
DESCRIPTION:Please join Rooted Homes\, in partnership with the Bend Chamber\, in celebrating the completion of the new Poplar Community! \nThe ceremony will take place in a heated tent and begin with home tours from 12:00PM to 12:15PM\, followed by speaker comments from 12:15PM to 12:45PM\, including a special note from Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Chang. The ribbon-cutting ceremony and photo-op will be at 12:45PM. RSVP recommended to Jackie Keogh at jackie@rootedhomes.org \nQualified\, first-time homebuyers were encouraged to apply for the homeownership opportunity in this workforce housing pilot project. Employees of the employer partners received two preference points in the public lottery selection process. \nThe purpose of the pilot is to demonstrate that employers can support a path to homeownership for their employees. As part of the proof-of-concept\, the Bend Chamber is sponsoring four of the seven new homes in the Poplar development\, thanks to financial support from Providence Health Plan and specific Bend Chamber members. The sponsorship helps support the difference between the cost to build these homes and what income-qualified homebuyers can afford. \nThe Poplar Community project includes seven 3-bedroom\, 2-bath homes designed to net-zero energy standards for households earning equal to or less than 80% of Area Median Income. These homes\, designed by Ten Over Studio and constructed by Solaire Homebuilders\, are located on Rooted Homes’ land and retain a deed restriction that ensures each subsequent home resale will preference employees of qualified employer partners\, extending this benefit to the Bend workforce in perpetuity. \nRooted Home’s Mission \nProvide environmentally sustainable and permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for those who contribute to the fabric of the Central Oregon economy and community. \nBend Chamber’s Mission \nCreate an environment where businesses\, their employees and our community excel together through collaboration\, advocacy\, resources and leadership to meet Bend’s business challenges.

SUMMARY:The Remarkable Native Bees of Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Oregon has more than 700 species of native bees?!? We say “more than” because\, in fact\, no one actually knows how many native bees call the state home. Central Oregon is particularly well endowed with these amazing bees. Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Andony Melathopoulous to learn about the unique and sometimes weird bees of Central Oregon. Andony will also discuss the ongoing efforts to find all of our native bees and provide gardening tips on how to make these special pollinators feel at home in your backyard. This presentation is free\, but you must get your ticket online.
