Meeting Schedule - Monthly
We will hold a monthly meeting on the 1st Thursday of each month, from 7:30-8:30, at a different location each month. All areas in District 4 will have an opportunity to have a meeting convenient to their residents.
First Meeting
Our first meeting on June 5th went well. We had one or two "drop in" attendees and were also visited by representatives from the Northwood-Four Corners Civic Association. We will soon post a summary of the event. Regrettably, Councilman Praisner or his staff were unable to attend.
We may or may not have any meetings over the summer, but we hope to roll into the fall. As the weather cools down, and the new Council and fiscal season begins, we hope to have increased participation. We'll be reaching out to all of the civic associations.
Anyone can request a meeting in their area, and we will work together to find a location. Please call 301-384-8888 or 301-871-0928 for more information!
