Successful Spruce Up Day
We had a wonderful spruce up day and had the chance to meet a lot of neighbors who shared their concerns about the block.
During the event, we met Pastor Martin Hauser, who has graciously offered us Grace & St. Paul's Church as a meeting place! (123 West 71st). We are thinking of having a meeting on Sunday, May 20th at 4PM. We are so grateful to now have a place to meet and to have the support of the Pastor and his church. Please let us know if this meeting time works for you!
