Joint NEWRA/NEWNC Meetings a Plus
More joint meetings between the North End/Waterfront Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) and the North End/Waterfront Residents’ Association (NEWRA) should take place featuring guest speakers that can inform the neighborhood of any activities that directly affect the community.
The first joint meeting with Arthur Jemison, chief planning director of the Boston Planning and Development Agency, turned out to be a very informative presentation of the City of Boston’s plans for the future of the city and activities relating to the North End.
Every now and then this type of meeting should be held.
NEAA Sets Record Breaking Numbers
Started last season, the North End Athletic Association Soccer Program has grown into the largest sports activity the NEAA has ever produced, drawing 180 participants learning and playing the game.
This is a record-breaking sports program in the North End that is highly successful and appears it will continue to draw more and more participants each season.
Several sponsors and many volunteers helped make this an attractive program for the youth of the North End Waterfront neighborhood.
