  • Place: Plymouth Church, 2717 E Hampshire St

Our agenda includes:

  • Milwaukee MPD District 1: District 1 Officers and Assistant District Attorney Dax Odom will join us to provide updates and discuss current crime trends in our area.
  • Business Spotlight:  Bridget Maniaci will give us a preview of her new shop, GoodLand Home & Goods, located at 2565 N. Downer Avenue (between Optix and Boswell Books).  She recently moved back to Milwaukee from Washington, DC and is excited to join the Downer Avenue business community to offer cheerful global and local household items, packaged foods and artwork to residents, students and visitors to the East Side (shopgoodlandhome.com).
  • Speaker:  Melissa Meier, Executive Director of Eastside Senior Services, will introduce ESS plans to do an intensive neighborhood outreach pilot program in a small area within the Murray Hill community entitled “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.”  The goal is to intentionally engage Murray Hill residents in helping out their older adult neighbors with small tasks. (www.essmilw.org). Come to learn more about volunteer opportunities or ways you can receive help with this new program.
