Coffee on Your Corner 

City Government is coming to our community as part of "Coffee on Your Corner on Monday, June 17, 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. at Cafe Dauphine: 5229 Dauphine Street. The guest for this event is City of New Orleans Office of Code Enforcement.

It's a special information session during normal business hours for residents who may be discouraged of attending public meetings outside of their communities and during evening hours. These forums give the community the opportunity to hear directly from city officials and representatives in an informal setting at local venues in their neighborhoods about city programs, initiatives and operations.

Please submit  your questions to NoraAnn Winbush at [email protected] prior to the meeting. 
Sincerely,


Warrenetta C. Banks
