Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email pennknox.germantown@gmail.com to confirm the next Zoom meeting before you join, since the site's meeting listings stop in 2024..
What to expect
Meetings review nearby zoning and building proposals, and the group shares its view with the City and developers. The site lists the first Tuesday of the month from 7 to 9 pm on Zoom. Suggested dues help pay for event permits, legal fees, and newsletter printing, and the site does not describe how a meeting runs.
Tips for your first visit
- Confirm the next meeting by email before you log on.
- Dues are suggested, not required, and the site says a check can be mailed or dropped off.
- The site's footer lists a Facebook group and an Instagram account, which may carry newer meeting details.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The site lists a monthly Zoom meeting, but its newest meeting listing is from 2024, and it does not say outright that neighbors may attend..

- Cost
- Low cost. Suggested yearly dues: $10 per person or $25 per household. Any amount is welcome.
