• Keeping neighbors informed through the monthly newsletter, website, and email list serve
• Maintaining a community place and space in the Abell Open Space on 32nd Street
• Addressing issues like sanitation, nuisance houses, noise, and crime
• Working together to improve our community with Neighborhood Walkers and strong ties to the Barclay School
• Sponsoring annual social events: Spring Picnic, Fall Street Fair, Holiday Caroling, New Year’s Eve Progressive Dinner
