Things are also heating up in the community and we would like to invite you to
our next neighborhood meeting to get the latest updates. The agenda

site will have a major impact on our entire Ward. Come learn more about new food
pavilion and future development plans for the campus.

proposed.

issue in Ward 8. Get important information on the progress made and how we can

Barbeque: We are in the
process of planning a neighborhood barbeque in July to be held at Old Market
