ANOTHER VOICE FOR KENSINGTON

Kensington just got another representative on Community Board 12!

Maggie Tobin announced today that she's been appointed to CB12. Maggie is an active member of the Kensington community. She's a co-founder of KARMA, the founder of West Kensington Action Group, and a member of Dahill Neighborhood Association. KARMA extends its heartfelt congratulations to Maggie.

Community boards advise elected officials and government agencies on issues that affect the social welfare of the district they cover. They process the complaints that we make to them as well as our requests for municipal services. They're responsible for important aspects of our lives and our well-being.

CB12's committees are
  • Civic & Consumer Affairs
  • Education, Library & Cultural Affairs
  • Environmental Protection, Sanitation & Sewers
  • Executive
  • Fire, Safety & Police
  • Health & Social Services
  • Housing & Buildings
  • Legislation
  • Parks & Recreation
  • Transportation & Franchises
  • Youth & Community Development
Please attend the community board's meetings so that Kensington's voice will be heard loud and clear. Speak out to them so they can speak out for us.

Meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month from September through June. The meetings are open to the public. They're held at 5910 13th Avenue, between 59th and 60th streets, three blocks from the 56th Street stop on the B16 bus.

For additional information, see CB12's website.

It's your community. Be involved!
