As of the end of July 2008 I am no longer BNA Web master. You can read more about me, my work, and interests at my Web site www.vonsalza.com and my flickr page.


Previously... I joined the BNA Board in 1997 shortly after moving here with my wife Mary Anne and our Bearded Collie Spencer. Bridlemile had just been split out from Bridlemile-Robert Grey into the current Bridlemile and Hillsdale neighborhoods.

Initially I served on the BNA Land Use committee with Rich Adelmann and many others and whose main project at that time was working on developing the Bridlemile Vision Statement as part of the SW Community Plan which was updating zoning for all of SW Portland.

In November 2000 I created the BNA's first Web site which I have updated continually since then. In Spring 2007 I moved the BNA Web site from my Web site to its current home here on the SWNI server. At about the same time I also began compiling the monthly BNA SWNI News reports.

Sometime in early 2002 I became BNA Parks Chair and worked on the SWNI Parks Dog Off Leash Siting Committee. I remained Parks Chair until 2007 when Chris Kahle graciously volunteered to take on that position which I could no longer spend enough time on.

In March of 2003 I became involved with the Bridlemile Creek Stewards(BCS) Albert Kelly Creek Restoration(AKCR). I created and updated the Web pages for all three of BCS creek restoration projects thru Spring of 2008. In 2005 I began work on the Your Watershed Habitat Web site as part of the outreach effort of the BCS for the AKCR project. In 2007 I moved the AKCR and BCS Web pages to their current homes here on the SWNI server.

In 2007 at my suggestion the BNA Web Chair position was changed from a BNA Board position to a subcommittee of the Outreach Committee; and that ended my 10+ years as a BNA Board member, and in June 2008 I announced my resignation (effective the end of July 2008). As BNA Web master, I created and updated the BNA Web pages, compiled/wrote the monthly BNA SWNI News reports, sent out the monthly BNA Announcement emails, and offered to train other board and committee members to create and maintain content for their own areas of interest on the BNA Web site. So far Chris Kahle has taken on the update and creation of BNA Parks pages. In addition to the BNA Web site I also: created door to door flyers (such as the BNA Calendar card) for various on going BNA projects which the SWNI office then printed for us, worked with BNA History Chair Ginger Danzer on developing more Walking Tours, and still am one of the Admins for the Bridlemile Neighborhood Association flickr group which Chris Kahle created.
