Portland Community College's Retiree Network

A Special Retiree Network Event coming in June!

Friday, June 26th, 3:00-5:00 p.m. Second Annual Portland Spirit Happy Hour Cruise! This event was enjoyed with unanimous positive reviews last year when more than two dozen retirees and friends, gathered for a fun late afternoon socializing and seeing Portland from a different angle – from the river most of us just cross on bridges. And of course, there’s a bistro and bar on board at Happy Hour prices.

We already have about ten signed up this year, but there is plenty of space and time to sign-up for this cruise at the group rate. Invite a friend or family (adults – it is a happy hour cruise) to come along. We will pre-purchase tickets to get the group rate, so we will need your RSVP by Tuesday, June 16th. You can reserve your seats by replying to this email or if viewing this on our website or page send an email to [email protected].

We have arranged a group rate of $30 per person for a Happy Hour cruise aboard the Portland Spirit ( https://www.portlandspirit.com/ ). The ship leaves from the Salmon Springs dock (1010 S.W. Naito Parkway) promptly at 3:30, so we’re asking those joining us to arrive by 3:00 p.m. so that we can ensure everyone has their tickets in hand as we board.

Note: If you are looking at their website, the Happy Hour cruise doesn’t appear until after June 1st.

Cruise, Dine, Unwind! | Portland Spirit Cruises & Events Operating a fleet of four boats for public and private events, Portland Spirit offers year-round dining and sightseeing cruises — an experience unlike anything else in Portland, Oregon!
