Neighborhood Meeting Minutes

Thursday, August 23, 2018 5:30 to 6:45 PM

Charlie Joseph Senior Citizen Center
Thanks to all for the pot-luck dinner!

Guest Speaker: Cynthia Smith – running for School Board, District 4 – She attended elementary school in our neighborhood Lola Culver Elm. She has served as an administrator 5 years, most recently at Ribault HS. She wants to see increase in teacher longevity and faith based/business partnerships.

Panama Park Community Development Corporation – we are now registered with the State as a Corporation and have a federal number. There was excited discussion as to what this might afford us. It gives us the ability to put our events under this name and raise money for projects. Kristy Kennedy mentioned that eventually we would be able to help our neighbors who can’t, to fix up their homes.
