Hello Old North End & Downtown neighbors!

**If you're getting this post on March 7, please VOTE by 7pm if you haven't yet!**

This Thursday evening, join your neighbors for a delicious community dinner followed by the Wards 2 & 3 neighborhood planning assembly (NPA) meeting.

The first half of the meeting will include the usual things:
- General announcements
- Introductions from everyone attending (we did this last month and it was a hit!)
- Public forum
- Updates from our city councilors, school commissioners, and state legislators

In the second half of this meeting, we'll be breaking out of our typical format and doing a roundtable format. We'll have tables with different city commissions represented and will shift people around in small groups so everyone will get a chance to talk to all the commissioners there. (Kinda like a science fair format, but with City commissions.)

**Please note that this part of the meeting will likely only be available in-person.**

You can learn about what these commissions do, what it's like to be on one, and what they're currently working on — no long powerpoint or the intensity of asking a question in front of the entire NPA :)

Commissions represented: Parks & Rec, Planning, Public Works, Church Street Marketplace, Council on Aging, Library, Police, & Fire.
