Hello Neighbors:
Busy civic engagement week coming up. Town Meeting Day on Tuesday...and also the first Thursday of the month...which means a Ward6 NPA meeting as well. A key feature of this month's meeting will be the nomination/election of the committee members. One member's term is up, so we definitely hope to have at least one more candidate (although any ward6 resident is absolutely welcome and entitled to come out and put their name in, there is no special privilege with respect to the present members!). Please contact any present committee member if you have an interest and would like to learn more. You can read more here:

The meeting will take place this coming Thursday March 7 at 7pm at the Greek Orthodox Church, 600 South Willard Street, on the corner of South Willard and Ledge Road at the rotary. Parking is available in the church lot, entrance off of Ledge Road. Additional parking can be found along Willard Street, as well as in front of Christ the King on Locust Street. All residents are welcome!
