A quick reminder that we will host a BBQ picnic tonight in place of our normally scheduled neighborhood meeting. This annual event is a thank you to Mid-City Neighborhood Organization members and other Mid-City residents for their support during the year. We will be serving a complimentary plate of hamburgers, hot-dogs, and other assorted goodies to MCNO members, and we welcome anyone else to join us for good food and fun as long as it lasts. We will also be serving soft drinks and water – any other beverages you want to consume, please plan to bring them yourself.
The event is free to everyone, but we welcome donations from non-members and anyone else who wishes to support Mid-City.
At the picnic, you can greet old friends and meet new ones, and ask the board and other Mid-City representatives and non-profits questions and advice. We have invited several groups, including the Mid-City Community Garden, Rebuilding Together (Preservation Resource Center), the Food and Farm Network, and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (which is managing our blighted housing acquisition program) to attend or provide information you can take away.
We’ll also have updates on exciting happenings and progress in Mid City.
NOTE: Stay tuned – Beginning next Friday, we will be posting a weekly newsblast to the MCNO site. The first blast will have an update on nearly 100 blighted Mid-City properties that have gone through the code enforcement process.
