Reminder: Membership Meeting & Mingle this Thursday!

Posted in Meetings, Parties on January 12, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Welcome 2013 and join your neighbors for the first annual GWNA Membership Meet & Mingle event on January 17. It’s the perfect time to mix a little fun while sharing ideas on how we’ll continue to make our community a great, safe, vibrant place to live.

Block clubs have an enormous influence on shaping their community. What do you want to see in our neighborhood? Retail streets like Lincoln Square? A bustling public market? The new Wilson L Station with a patio café? Or a school that really offers innovative education?

GWNA members have actively participated in three key evictions in our community. All three evictions involved tenants whose behaviors destroy communities. To date, one tenant is gone, the second is due back in eviction court next week, and the final one is supposed to be moving before the end of January. For too long, those people that tear apart communities have been allowed to live in affordable housing without any consequences for their behavior—this will no longer be tolerated.
