Materials for the Jan. 9 EGNC Meeting

Materials for the Jan. 9 EGNC Meeting

In a break from recent custom, the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council is holding a meeting this month. It will take place on Wednesday, January 9 in the usual place (Corbin Senior Center) at the usual time (7pm). Brave the cold in exchange for the warm, fuzzy feeling of doing good for the neighborhood.

The agenda for the upcoming January 9 meeting and the minutes from last month’s meeting on December 12 are now available. Grab them on the “Downloads” page or just get them here:

We’ll be getting a head start on 2013 by discussing the ever-popular Spring Cleanup, planning for a summer concert series in Corbin and Emerson Parks, and suggesting possible logo/branding ideas for the neighborhood to snazz things up.

We look forward to seeing you there!

New Year’s Neighborhood Mailers

New Year’s Neighborhood Mailers

Residential households and businesses all over Emerson-Garfield have begun receiving neighborhood mailers over the past few days. They look like this:

Many of us found out about the neighborhood council and its activities through print mailings (like the sadly defunct West Central Community Newspaper), and it was important to make sure that we continued to spread the word about how to get involved. The more people who take a stake in this neighborhood, the better it will be for all of us.

Normally, the EGNC doesn’t have the money to cover the costs of a neighborhood-wide mailing like this one, which is why they aren’t sent out more regularly. Steps are being taken to increase the frequency of mailings in the future, but there are still limitations to what can be done with the available funding.
