Come join your neighbors for our ABC neighborhood association General Meeting.
On the Agenda is the yearly election of Steering Committee members. Have a burning desire to make a difference in your neighborhood and community? Consider running for a position on the ABC board. A once a month meeting, receiving neighborhood related e-mails and various tabling and events attendance are all that is required.
We will also have presentations from the City Manager, John Ruiz with time for Q & A as well as our new city councilor--who ever that ends up being. A presentation from the Bethel School District regarding a school based health clinic will also be happening. Updates on our neighborhood food projects including Tree By Tree and the Bethel-Danebo Neighborhood Market. And there is always time at the end of the meeting for input from you about concerns and issues that affect our neighborhood.
The meeting happens May 26 at the Petersen Barn, located at 870 Bertzen Road, Eugene from 7 PM-9 PM. Refreshments will be served. Please join us!
