Neighborhood leaders and others interested in becoming more involved in their neighborhood are invited to a gathering at City Hall to participate in roundtable discussions and to hear from top city officials.
The Neighborhood Leadership Gathering takes place from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, in room 1E-108 of City Hall, 450 110th Ave. NE. The purpose of the event is to encourage dialogue among neighborhood leaders and to provide them an update on key issues from city staff.
