This Thursday, November 15, your Ward 5 NPA will be hosting a meeting that is largely focused on opiates and the overdose crisis. The meeting will take place from 6:30 to 8:30pm, in the second floor community room of the South End City Market. We look forward to seeing you at this interesting and important discussion. A more specific agenda is below.

Please note that before engaging in the main part of our agenda, we will be filling a vacancy on our steering committee. Any Ward 5 resident interested in filling this position should plan on attending the meeting, prepared to give a short statement of interest. If more than one individual is vying for the vacancy, all Ward 5 residents in attendance will be asked to vote for their preferred candidate.
