Feb social, civics bootcamp and Accessory Dwelling survey
Hello! It was great seeing so many of you in January for the video premiere and Q&A (and for those who missed it the video is linked below).  We have a few more events coming up soon, so mark your calendars:
 
🍹🍨🍔 Social Happy Hour
Thursday Feb 20th 5:30-7pm, Clare and Don's
Come hang out-- see old faces and meet new ones! Nothing fancy-- just a great way to get more involved and meet people in the community!
 
⚖️ 🏛️🏫 Civics Bootcamp
Sunday March 23rd 2-4pm
Hold the date for our Civics Bootcamp! Local government matters now more than ever-- now is a great time to get involved and shape the city around you! Maybe YOU could even be our next Mayor :) Learn about how the city works, how to run for office or join a board, and navigate city information. Even if you don't have any experience, this is a great place to start. We'll send out info on the location soon.
 
🏘️ ADU Survey
The city is gathering a final round of input for the Accessory Dwelling update before the final vote in April. Please share your thoughts, as it's important to have a good representation of views across the city (including both homeowners and renters). Find out more about Accessory Dwellings here.
 
And big thanks to everyone who joined our January gathering-- it was a ton of fun!
