The next meeting of the Forest Park Civic Association will be on Tuesday, February 10, at 7 pm at Epworth United Methodist Church, 5100 Karl Road in the main sanctuary. ALL Forest Park residents are invited.

Bruce Robinson from Xenos Free Clinic will speak about the new Free Clinic in Northland.

We will also have a visit from our police liaison and a time to air any concerns and questions about the neighborhood you might have. We will pass them on to our city representative. Get an update on why and how nuisance hotels and clubs have been closed in the past year and learn what you can do to help in this effort.

In March we will have a speaker on the issue of feral cats, and in April City Council Member Shannon Hardin will come to personally learn about our neighborhood and hear our concerns. He attended the February NCC meeting, but did much more listening than speaking. I’m sure you will find him interesting.

Upcoming events are the Kick Butt Columbus cleanup day on March 28th (http://www.eventbrite.com/e/kickbuttcolumbus-2015-registration-14894071569), the first 161 Cleanup Day on April 11th, and the Northland Shredding Day on May 16th at Menards. See your February and March Foresters for more information.
