Everyone come on out to the September meeting of the Kennedy Heights Community Council Tuesday, September 18th 7:30 meeting at the Kennedy Heights Presbyterian Church.

It will be a special opportunity to welcome new neighbors to the community, as a new tradition is beginning that welcomes new homeowners with a Welcome Basket and inviting them to the Community Council meeting to receive it. We have an opportunity to meet and greet neighbors and encourage neighborhood involvement.

Also Councilmember Laure Quinlivan will be on hand to speak about the City Council initiative to begin 6 year terms.

All of that plus updates on other happenings around the neighborhood!

The 29th Annual Kennedy Heights Progressive Dinner will take place on Saturday September 29th.
