May ESNA Meeting

Our next monthly Eight Streets business meeting will be this Wednesday, May 2nd in the Boston Ballet 5th floor board room (corner of Warren & Clarendon streets)


6:30-7 - Neighborhood Networking.   Meet your neighbors in an informal setting. 
7-8:30 - Business meeting.  


On the agenda this month:

• Decks on deck.   Building construction at 26 Milford and 21 Dwight are both seeing support for rear decks on their buildings.   A vote will be taken on each proposal
• Trash talk.   We've talked about the problem - let's talk about solutions.   How can we get our residents to put our trash correctly?  Any volunteers for a 'trash education' committee?
• Open member discussion.

Hope to see everyone there!
