*** This month our Ward 5 will meet together with Ward 6, representing together the South District, to bring you a candidate forum. The meeting is 2 weeks earlier than usual to better align with Town Meeting Day early/mail-in voting. ***
The monthly meeting of the Ward 5 Neighborhood Planning Assembly (NPA). Join your neighbors and City and Schools officials for a lively forum on issues important to the South End.
Our monthly meeting is (usually) the third Thursday of every month, at the DPW office at 645 Pine St. We will begin with a community meal provided by The People’s Kitchen at 6:30pm, and start into our agenda at 7:00pm.
Neighbors can also attend virtually via Zoom.
