This week the Community Center held the first seminar offered by the East Bluff Neighborhood Academy and what a great presentation it was! Dr. Rita Ali guided the group as we learned the basics of grassroots organizing. By the end of a couple of hours (classes are 5:30 – 7:30 with dinner included!) we summarized the evening with some powerful words that came from the heart of all of us present: justice, opportunity, educate, peace, empowerment and vision.

Please join us next week, Tuesday September 2, as Lisa Ruby from Ruby & Associates will present “Getting The Word Out” Marketing and Communications. The East Bluff have so many great things going on but how do we let people know? Be there on Tuesday to find out and also enjoy dinner, door prizes and the company of your neighbors!

Don’t let the heat stop you from coming! Classes will be located in air conditioned classrooms in the Center.
