Making friends as an adult is hard, but it doesn't have to be! Join us for a night of "speed friending." This is a low-stress, fun environment to meet new people in the area and make connections with other adults looking for friendship. 

Each pairing will be given 2-3 minutes to get to know one another; prompts will be provided if needed to get the conversation started. At the end of the speed friending rounds, there will be time set aside to exchange phone numbers, emails and information with anyone you've made a connection with.

Ward 1’s Marilyn Boerke defeated Geoerl Niles, while Camas’ Ward 3 will have a new representative, Mahsa Eshghi, who defeated incumbent Leslie Lewallen.
