Last Tuesday, a group met at Tougo to discuss revitalizing the Central District Neighborhood Association (CDNA). During the meeting, we discussed how best to revitalize a critical community organization and how organize it in order to best deal with the issues facing the community.

This kickoff meeting was just the start of organizing the CDNA, and we need your input moving forward to make it work. Therefore, there will be a follow-up meeting on Tuesday, August 12th, 7:30pm, at Tougo. At this point the agenda is pretty informal, but there was general consensus that we should discuss CDNA by-laws, possible CDNA committees, and set a timetable for holding elections (probably Sept). Other agenda items are welcome.

Tougo has graciously offered their beautiful space to us. If you don’t know, Tougo is on 18th just north of Union. A special thanks to Brian for his committment to the neighborhood and his time in hosting our meetings.
