Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Pick a committee from the committees page (nine are listed, including May Fair, Historic Preservation and Zoning), or come to a board meeting. To get notices, join the mailing list or pay yearly membership..
What to expect
Board meetings start at 7:30 pm on a Tuesday at the community center, with Zoom as an option. A recent agenda covered event updates, committee reports and a guest speaker. The site does not say how long meetings run or whether visitors may speak.
Tips for your first visit
- Confirm the date of the next board meeting on the site before you go.
- Zoom is listed as an option if you would rather join from home.
- Membership is open to individuals, businesses and institutions with an interest in the neighborhood, which runs from about 38th to 46th Streets and Woodland Avenue to Market Street.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Committees say they welcome new members, membership is open to individuals, and board notices are public with a Zoom option. The site does not say outright that visitors may attend meetings..
