The 2013 Neighborhood Summit is the evening of Wednesday, October 30th in Fogarty Hall, beneath Blessed Trinity Church at 14040 Puritas Avenue.

The event serves as both a community open house and a “state of the neighborhood” event.  It is not to be missed if you want to be “in the know” or meet the folks who make things happen and care enough to participate in what has become a neighborhood homecoming of sorts.  Be the change you want to see in the world and get engaged at this free event.

Everyone is welcome and the venue has accessible entrance.

Bring your positive energy, bring a neighbor,  bring a dessert for the social…
