Southwest Community Engagement Meeting
2024-09-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Carolina Pines Community Center, 2305 Lake Wheeler Road, Raleigh, NC, 27603, United States
After four and a half years, we have approval for access to the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.)
We will meet in person, without streaming, this coming Monday evening, September 9th, at 7:00 pm. There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections followed by social time. Hopefully, we can also return to having a program update about Carolina Pines Park’s activities.
I have been told that we can also use the Center’s freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate some 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.
This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just reacquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Several of our City Councilors have indicated they plan to attend. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. So much of the World has changed over the last few years. If this goes well, I plan to schedule in-person meetings four times a year. (next one in December) The others will continue to use Zoom,
Chair set-up in our traditional room will start at about 6:45 pm.
Our next meeting in October will resume the Zoom/Streaming format. We have been promised an update from City Engineering Services about actual construction activity starting on Carolina Pines Ave.
Thank you all for taking an active interest in our community.
