Albemarle Neighborhood Association Community Meeting
Thursday, October 19th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The end of the Albemarle Neighborhood Association (ANA) may be near. Should it disband--come to a screeching halt--after serving the neighborhood for forty-four years?
At the ANA's next community meeting, the guest speaker will be Denise Lalande-Phipps, Director of The Kensington Family Shelter. She will discuss current activities and issues at the shelter.
And following that, ANA's fate will be determined. Due to a lack of participation and volunteerism, its continued existence is uncertain. If you want to voice an opinion on this subject or have questions or suggestions or thoughts or ideas that might save it, please attend the meeting.
Foodtown and the ANA will provide refreshments after the meeting.
Members and non-members of ANA are welcome to attend all ANA community meetings. Admission is free.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, October 19th, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
