March updates
Neighborhood Updates & Info Document – Please visit the link below!
Seeing the need for a permanent, persistent place where folks can find the most up-to-date information about the neighborhood association any time of day, I’ve created a document that begins this past January and will be updated as dates are finalized and information gets shared. I’m hoping this can serve as a backup (or primary source of info!) when emails get lost or posts get missed, so you never have to wonder!
Going forward, I hope for it to include:
- Important dates (like the Yard Sale, coming in June!)
- Monthly meetings and their links, minutes, locations, times, etc.
- Reference materials for community engagement
- And more!
Follow this link and save it for convenience, and we’ll do our best to keep it up-to-date! Neighborhood Updates and Info Document
