This month we are pleased to introduce our monthly Serving Neighborhoods Bulletin, designed to inform residents of upcoming services, events and opportunities responsive to community needs and interests. We thank our community partners, volunteers and supporters for their help with making these resources available. -- TaKasha L. Francis, Director
