governance system. We discussed to importance of community collaboration. We created a list of assets
and challenges located in District 1.
A representative from McKenna Associates spoke on community planning and we discussed the importance
of developing a community group identity website, Facebook page presence, logo and other methods of

blighted and abandoned homes and block club development which led to the creation of sub-committees
which will focus on those three issues.
