AGENDA FORTHCOMING

MPNA Neighborhood Meeting
2022-12-08 18:00 - 19:30 | Menlo Park Elementary School, 1100 W. Fresno St, Tucson, AZ, 85745, United States
Our next Menlo Park Neighborhood Association Meeting will be at the Menlo Park Elementary School cafeteria.
The proposed changes to the Menlo Park Neighborhood boundaries will be discussed. A map is attached below to illustrate where the changes are proposed. This change is proposed in partnership with Barrio Kroeger Lane Neighborhood Association who has been in close communication with MPNA for many meetings.
Holiday Potluck
Please bring a dish to share. Plan to join us a little early for conversation and to share food before we begin the meeting at 6pm. (We are mindful of covid-19 rates and encourage masks when not eating. We may also need to change plans if circumstances change dramatically.)
We will also introduce the Sharing Table. If you have elementary school-aged children you might know about the Sharing Table already. Please bring any unused, unopened food, toiletries, or gently used items you are ready to pass on. If you’ve got a few things you’ve been meaning to donate to the thrift store, bring it to the Sharing Table first to see if a neighbor could use it. Take what you need, leave what you don’t. At the end of the evening anything left on the Sharing Table will be boxed up and donated.
Hope to see you all there next week.
Kylie Walzak, President
