HNBA Meeting Tonight!

Hello Harlem Neighbors,

TONIGHT at 7:00 PM HNBA will meet on Zoom with an exciting and packed agenda.

The meeting will start off with a presentation from neighbors in the 2041/5th HDFC Co-Op (5th Avenue at 126th Street) who are planning a second annual family and community block party to celebrate the children in East Harlem on 8/12/23.  Lionel will answer any questions you have about the block party and hopefully encourage you to get involved. 

Shawn Hill will then present on new data regarding NYC’s Shelter Distribution 

To be followed by Travon Butler, who’ll tell us more about the upcoming Participatory Budgeting project that his office – Civic Engagement.NYC – is promoting.

Our District Leader for the 68th Assembly District – Sharase DeBouse – will provide a community update.

And we’ll conclude with a brief presentation from NYC’s Rat Academy representative, Martha Vernazza, Community Coordinator for Rats (what a job title…) on upcoming Rat Academies for Manhattan Community Boards 9, 10, and 11 residents.  

See you on Zoom TODAY at 7:00 PM:
