East CAC
2025-05-19 19:00 - 20:00 | Lions Park Community Center, 516 Dennis Avenue, Raleigh, 27604
Hi Neighbors!

Please join the East CAC next Monday for our monthly meeting.

5/19/2025
Lions Park Community Center
7 pm

We are lucky to have Senior Engineer Sheri Smith joining us to tell us about the Pigeon House Watershed study and take your questions. The goal of the study is to identify ways to improve the watershed by reducing flooding, replacing/renewing stormwater pipes and infrastructure in poor condition, improve water quality, and repairing stream banks.

There is also time for folks to share information about things going on in our area and have a general discussion.

My co-chair Mark records the meetings live on Facebook and YouTube. He keeps an eye on the chat so you can ask questions even if you aren’t physically present. You can even watch them later.
https://youtube.com/@east-cac

https://www.facebook.com/share/1KvGvjd3Fr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I did want to mention that we’ve been having low turnout at our recent meetings even accounting for folks watching virtually. We can always move the meetings to every other month if monthly is proving too frequent. If you’d like to attend meetings but can’t I’d love to hear from you separately about your reasons. Please email me! We want as many people as possible to be able to participate. If the day or time is a problem we might need to do a poll to see if there’s a better time.

Best,
Jean Mosher

Southwest Raleigh Community Engagement -- In-Person Meeting
2025-06-09 19:00 - 20:30 | Carolina Pines Community Center, 2305 Lake Wheeler Road, Raleigh, NC, 27603, United States
SW Community Meeting at the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.). We will meet in person, without streaming, next Monday evening, June 9th, at 7:00 pm.

There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections.
We plan to have a special update from Lisa Genschel, of the Dix Park Conservancy who will tell us about a new way to participate in and support Dix Park activities. The official opening of the beautiful new Gipson Play Plaza at Dorothea Dix Park is scheduled this coming weekend (June 6-8).

Carolina Pines Improvement Project – With the contract for construction along the entire length of Carolina Pines Avenue having been awarded we should be seeing a Pre-Construction meeting with our neighborhood in the coming weeks. That meeting for Community with the City Engineering Services and Contractor will be at Carolina Pines Community Center. Date and time TBD.
I have been told that we can use the Center’s freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate ice cream. Please come and help with the ice cream. Since I have no idea as to how many will attend I don’t need to be left with melting cartons and no freezer space. Please bring help. Kids welcome.

This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just acquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. I plan to schedule in-person meetings four times a year (next one in September) the others will continue to use Zoom.

Chair set-up in our traditional room at Carolina Pines Center will start at about 6:45 pm. Our next meeting in July will resume the popular Zoom/Streaming format.
