Your first visit

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

First step: Come to the fourth Tuesday meeting at the Southside Church Center, 5058 Wayne Ave, and join the group's Google Group for updates before you go..

You can just show up. No sign up needed.

What to expect

Expect a monthly meeting that the group's site says anyone can attend. The site covers zoning, business on Wayne Avenue, and the 39th Police District, so those are good topics to ask about. The site lists no dues or sign-up for the meeting.

Tips for your first visit

  • Use the Manheim Street entrance, which the group's site names.
  • Join the Google Group before you come, since an older City listing says in-person meetings were suspended.
  • Use the contact page on the group's site to reach the organizer with questions.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The group's home page says all are welcome at its monthly meeting and names the day and place to start, with a Google Group for updates..
