Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for the newsletter on the FCA site to get the link and details for the next monthly meeting, then come to the meeting on the last Thursday at 7 pm at The City School, 860 N. 24th St..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Meetings open with a social at 7 pm, and the business meeting starts at 7:30 pm. Members can vote at monthly meetings if their membership is valid the day before. The group reviews zoning and development plans in the area, and the page does not say whether a non-member can speak.

Tips for your first visit

  • Sign up for the newsletter first, since meeting links go to subscribers.
  • Pay dues by the day before a meeting if you want to vote there; paying at the meeting does not make you eligible for that meeting.
  • Arrive by 7 pm if you want the social before the business meeting.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The FAQ suggests joining is the way to take part in meetings and events, and dues are $15 or more. The page does not say whether non-members can attend. The newsletter gives the meeting link, which is a clear first step..
