To promote neighborhood engagement, the City of Valparaiso is hosting a Neighborhood Workshop on Thursday, July 18, 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at Forest Park Welter Room, 1155 Sheffield Dr. Neighborhood Workshops provide an opportunity for neighborhood representatives to connect, learn from each other and become more familiar with available neighborhood services. The July agenda includes a welcome from Mayor Jon Costas, an introduction of the Know Your Neighbor Grant and an overview of how to host successful neighborhood events presented by neighborhood organizers.
Neighborhood groups, including homeowners’ associations, neighborhood associations or newly forming groups are encouraged to send representatives to the workshop. “Neighborhood Workshops are an excellent opportunity to network, share ideas and learn about available resources,” said Maggie Clifton, Valpo’s Director of Community Engagement. The full agenda is available on the Community Engagement page at Valpo.us.
To participate in the Neighborhood Workshop, please RSVP by contacting Maggie Clifton at City Hall (219) 462-1161, mclifton@valpo.us. RSVP is requested to ensure materials and space for all participants.
