Join us for a 3-day community building event! The Whittier Works Together Community Building event will feature Conversations on Community Safety in Whittier, a Summer Kickoff Party, and Safety Skills Building Workshops. RSVP on Facebook! We had a great turnout on Saturday for our rescheduled Whittier Earth Day Clean Up!
Participants collected 10+ bags of trash, picked up 6+ bags of recycling, and ate a lot of delicious bagels courtesy of Wedge Table. Thanks to everyone that came out to help keep Whittier prettier! If you would like to stay in the loop for our next neighborhood clean up, or if you would like to know about other Environmental Sustainability Committee volunteer opportunities, send us an email at info@whittieralliance.org, call us at 612-871-7756, or stop by our office (10 E 25th St, 9-5pm M-F), Remember when we facilitated focus groups and online surveys to help inform our upcoming 2018-2022 Strategic Plan? Maybe you even participated in one? Below is all the feedback we received from all of you. Staff, board members, and our consultant are still working hard to synthesize all of this input into a Strategic Plan that reflects the views of our neighborhood. Keep an eye out soon for that document!
