Operation Brightside Project Blitz
March 29, 2010 | 2 Comments
Saturday, April 10 is our designated Blitz day. Project Blitz is simply a city-wide clean-up effort. It’s your chance to contribute to the improvement of Marine Villa. What may seem like no big deal is actually the foundation of what makes the best neighborhoods in Saint Louis. People notice clean streets. They also notice those that are out doing the cleaning and showing that their neighborhood is cared for.

Upcoming Neighborhood Elections
September 13, 2009 | 5 Comments
Neighborhood association elections are right around the corner and unless you live in Gravois Park, now is your chance to get involved. Neighborhood associations play a critical role in connecting local issues to the larger city political process. They also provide a regular place & time to check in with your neighbors, alderman, police, and local resources as well as a formal mechanism for making local decisions in a democratic way. The more fresh ideas and new neighbors that join the conversation, the more interesting the solutions and collaborations that emerge. If you’ve been thinking about getting involved and running for an elected position, now’s the time. Even if you’re not considering running for an elected position, it’s important to make sure your membership dues have been paid up by the deadlines below to ensure voting eligibility. Here’s pertinent information for the associations surrounding Cherokee. . .
