Hi, Neighbors!
The Ward 1 NPA meets on Lincoln's Birthday, Wednesday February 12, from 6:30-9PM at the Friends Meeting House, 173 North Prospect Street.
We have planned a significant amount of time at this meeting for a Candidate Forum, where you can hear from and ask questions of our East District City Council candidates, Kathy Olwell and Allie Schachter.
You can submit questions here 👉

As time permits there will also be an opportunity to take questions from the floor. We heartily welcome Ward 8 residents as well!
But wait – there's more!!
As many of you may know, conversations are taking place between the City and the UVM Medical Center about some development work they'd like to do. Karen Vastine at the Health Network has been holding some neighbor meetings, and the NPA is another, broader forum to connect to the community. Besides representatives from UVM HN, we have gotten RSVPs from City Planning Director Charles Dillard and head of DPW Chapin Spencer. It should be a robust and informative conversation. Because of this important issue, we are extending the NPA meeting for a half hour.
We will of course start with Speakout and Announcements, and we will hear from our electeds (as the kids say), plus there is an opportunity for School Commission candidates to say "Hi" as well.
Please join us in person, or if you can't, on the Zoom wall.
