Election Day (or Season!) is one cog in the wheel. Staying tuned in tune so you know who and what you’ll vote for next time is like ‘continuing education’. So here is a simple link to City governance. The city posts Council and Commission meetings at this site. Here is the site. At this site you can see what is on the agenda. You can ALWAYS attend and SPEAK at these meetings. It’s called public comment. It really is worth knowing about.
For example, the Cultural Heritage Commission that reviews major Certificate of Appropriateness applications for historic districts – read most of Rose Park (Rose Park and Rose Park South Historic Districts) has been changed to last Tuesday of every month. For those contemplating a submission it is really worthwhile to check this out before you submit your application (just sayin’).
And for Council there is ALWAYS the opportunity to see it live streaming at LBTV!!!
Thursday afternoon starting about 2:30 at Willard Elementary our Moms for a Beautiful 10th Street with LBPD and CD2 will be offering safety tips like….how to use your mobile device for assistance or in an emergency. We want our families to be safe! Want to join in? We will be near the main school entrance and then on 11th Street where families are picking up their children.
March 20th from 4pm-7pm our Parking Lot event is transformed to the BIG heART! Our annual art, artist and ‘fun’raising event. Please come there will be a taco bar and neat Mexican agua frescas! Live music. And of course an art-interaction space…create your own (miniature) skateboard. All proceeds are shared with the artists and the ArtWorksLBC fund.
And speaking of art….we are working with Amy Stock who is helping us exhibit our “All Hands on Deck” at Blackbird Cafe at 3405 Orange. And yes, you can purchase one of the boards! They are amazing! Exhibit will be set up this week – watch for further news!
Update: The RPNA Board has voted to move time, date and place of its longstanding monthly meetings. There are many reasons for this but as always if you’d like to put an item on the agenda please reach to to info@rpna.org. Our meetings are now held 4th Mondays at 4pm at Revive Church.
The historic Rose Park neighborhood is located in the City of Long Beach, California
