We can’t wait for the upcoming Northside Festival September 7, 11 am – 3 pm at the Mallards Stadium, presented by Willy Street Co-op and the Northside Planning Council (NPC). We are still looking for help from many more Northside individuals, groups and businesses to make this an amazing party for all of us. Email director@northsideplanningcouncil.org with interest or questions and see pages 4,16 and 18 for more details about the Northside Festival. We are still lining up more fun activities, nonprofits, businesses, vendors, artists, neighborhood associations, friends groups, volunteers, sponsors, screen printing for t-shirts and more. Please reach out with any ideas or questions you have, including how you would like to be involved. All of us together will make this a great time everyone.

Northside Planning Council

The Northside Planning Council (NPC) is planning an August meeting for neighborhood leaders to come together and share ideas, success, challenges in their efforts to organize and connect neighbors in their respective neighborhoods. This gathering is for formal leaders of active neighborhood associations, as well as informal leaders within both active and inactive neighborhood associations who are taking action and organizing neighbors to connect in different ways for the benefit of their neighborhood. If you are such a leader, official or unofficial, please reach out to Justin at director@northsideplanningcouncil.org or 608-444-6640 to join the list of invites for this upcoming meeting. See page 13 for more information about Northside neighborhood associations.
