Short Course at AACC, June 7-9: Citizen Engagement on the County Budget

 Greetings,

I'm sharing this note from Kurt Svendsen:

===

From June 7th-9th, I will be facilitating a “short-course” through the Peer Learning Partnership (PLP) program at the Community College. Through a series of simple lessons, videos, and guest speakers, a wide range of life-long learners will come together to explore how citizens can better engage with their local government around budget issues and honor the civic virtue of responsibility. 

Here's a link to a course flyer:

Hello, I’m Nolan Gille and I live in Campus Green at 223 Melody Lane. I’m part of the Environmental Literacy Program at Broadneck High School. My capstone project involves me doing something eco friendly to help the environment. I am hosting an invasive English Ivy cutting event at Twin Oaks Park on May 13, and would like you to spread the word to Campus Green. Would you be willing to email this out to the neighborhood?

Minutes of 2022 Annual Community Meeting

 Hello Neighbors,

The minutes of our annual meeting, held on July 16th, are available at this link.  Thanks to Kathy Nucifora for writing them up.

I learned recently that the extension of the Broadneck Trail, which we discussed in the meeting, is part of a broader master plan for pedestrian and bicycle paths throughout the County.  The draft master plan, "Walk & Roll Anne Arundel!" is available here. Public meetings on the plan will be held this evening, 17 August, and again on 31 August. You can register for those meetings via the previously provided link.

Regards,

Emil Petruncio
