GETTING AROUND TOWN
KEEPING THE COMMUNITY CLEAN
THE FELLS PROSPECT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (FPCA)
Have you renewed your 2012 Fells Prospect Community Association membership yet?
...FOR DAILY COMMUNITY UPDATES, LOCAL NEWS STORIES, COMMUNITY ALERTS, AND CITY HAPPENINGS.
Monthly FPCA meetings
Monthly meetings are a great chance to meet your neighbors, find out what's going on with traffic, building, nuisance bars, etc., as well as provide a chance to learn about new topics. January's meeting, for example, included a presentation on how to fight your tax assessment. Throughout the 2011 election, candidates from all office levels came to speak, allowing residents to voice their concerns and meet the potential representatives in person. So come to the next meeting--it's an easy way to get involved.
