January Neighborhood Council Meeting Recap

January Neighborhood Council Meeting Recap

In previous months, we’ve attempted to condense and convey the exciting events of each neighborhood council meeting by writing a dedicated blog post about it. This didn’t always happen due to time constraints, and it also meant duplicating work: both the author of the recap post and the EGNC secretary ended up putting the same event into different words. So we’re trying something new to kick off 2013. The EGNC secretary will aim to get the meeting minutes drawn up…

Winter Potluck 2012

Winter Potluck 2012

The Emerson-Garfield winter potluck will take place on Wednesday, December 12 at 6pm at the Corbin Senior Center. If you live, work, or own property in the neighborhood, you’re invited! We’re hoping that the attendance will be as high (or better yet, higher) as it was for the summer potluck back in August. Got a favorite Christmas cookie recipe? A seasonal salad? Bring it along! Since we won’t have the added bounty of the community garden during the winter months, everyone…
