Every year, the district councils have a big event in January where we honor folks in our neighborhoods who have done amazing things to make our communities great places to live. There is a buffet, speeches by the Mayor and other interesting individuals, and then presentations of the awards by our own council member and President, Kathy Lantry.
This year District 1 honored Jodi Inlow, Joe Lindgren of the Little Oven, and the congregation of Progressive Baptist Church. Jodi was honored for her work on the Council's Board of Directors, with Henry Park, with the Totem Town Community Garden and with our annual Community Clean-Up. Joe Lindgren was honored for his contributions to community events as a business owner in our area, and for the improvements Little Oven made to their parking situation. Progressive Baptist Church was honored for their long-standing commitment to helping young people in our community, and especially for the College Tour they sponsor for young people each year.
People like these honorees are a huge asset to our community! If you know of people in the neighborhood who should be recognized for the great work they are doing, let us know!
