As the District Council Prepares to Move...

As our organization prepares to move to our new location within SunRay Shopping Center, we are changing the way we will hold our public meetings.

Starting in January 2010, we will be holding our regular board meetings at different locations around the district. In addition, we will spend the first 15-20 minutes of each meeting asking residents of the neighborhoods around the meeting-place to talk about their interests, their concerns, and their dreams for their community. We will also try to focus the main topic of our meeting on matters relevant to the hosting neighborhood.

On January 25, we will be meeting at Merrick Community Center (1526 E. 6th St.) and will discuss neighbors visions for Eastview Park (Park staff will be present).

On February 22, we will be meeting at La Quinta Hotel (1870 Old Hudson Rd.) - topic to be determined...

And during the week of March 22, we will hold our Annual Meeting and an Open House at our new office, 2105 1/2 Old Hudson Rd, in SunRay Shopping Center - details to follow...

We are excited about the changes coming to our organization, and hope you will join us as we visit different neighborhoods in our district to talk about what is on everyone's mind!

We are also looking for people willing to serve on our board, especially people living in the Eastview neighborhood (north of I-94, south of Minnehaha, and west of White Bear Avenue to Birmingham...). So let us know if you want to join us in guiding the council into the next decade.
