Come hungry and join us for one of our favorite community traditions — VFW Fish Fry Night!

Enjoy a hearty, home-style meal featuring golden fried fish, crispy fries, coleslaw, rolls, and all the fixings. Plates are generous, the atmosphere is friendly, and it’s the perfect way to spend an evening with neighbors, friends, and family.



Proceeds go toward supporting our veterans and local community programs. Whether you dine in for the camaraderie or grab a plate to-go, every bite helps make a difference.

Come for the fish, stay for the fellowship!

This is the first in a series of presentations coming to Portland, all designed to help our community move toward a shared goal: a unified city, proud of its downtown, with a level of vibrancy that’s felt well beyond our core.  You're welcome to attend one, all, or any that interest you. 

Please join us for our first interactive workshop, hosted at City Hall in the Upstairs Community Room. We’ll be welcoming Dana Walker, Director of the Michigan Downtown Association—representing more than 250 communities statewide. Just call her “Professor.” Her depth of knowledge and real-world experience make this an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

Who should attend (besides you)?
Boards and commissions, City Council, City staff, business owners, property owners, and anyone who cares deeply about Portland and the future of its downtown.



What you'll get:  * Networking & Discussion    * Why does the State continue to legislate DDA's (MiPortland)   * Roles & Responsibilities  * By-Laws & Policies, what's the difference?    *Assessing Action    * Refreshments!!

Roll up your sleeves and join others who genuinely care about Portland and who are ready to find out if they can contribute to making us even better.  

Next two Presentations:  
Wednesday March 11  -  Preservation Forward with Jessica Flores, National Presenter to Historic Downtowns.  This session will focus on transforming stalled historic properties into catalysts for downtown revitalization.  She'll cut through the confusion and turn our attention on what actually works!  


April - Date to be announced  -  Team Rogers City comes to Positively Portland to share best practices that changed their fading downtown into a vibrant hub year round.  Mayor Scott will energetically lead the way!

This annual event benefits the Compassion Fund managed by the Portland Area Ministerial Association (PAMA).  It's a fun event where a hostess uses her creativity to decorate a table and invites guests to join her.  There is an inspirational speaker, a catered lunch and door prizes.  There are also tons of silent auction items.  All proceeds benefit the Compassion Fund that helps Portland residents with rent, utilities, gas cards and more.  It's a great event for a great cause!
