Howdiddly Ho Neighboreenos,

On Monday, March 17th starting at 7:00pm at the Olympia public library there will be a meet up for folks who live in downtown Olympia.

I've reserved the space for us to talk about issues that concern us and how our neighborhood association, the DNA, can be a vehicle to address them. There is no set agenda but feel free to send me any suggestions you have and/or any issues you might want to talk about. This is not a formal DNA meeting, just a meet and greet session; an opportunity to talk about stuff and see where we go from there. Think of it as a Town Hall type meeting.

 

I'd appreciate an RSVP but don't let that stop you from dropping by and see what's cooking. Peace Laurian.

I'm there dude...

Time to start building community to oppose all the gentrifying going on downtown.

There's not a lack of small business.. there's a lack of businesses period.
