NENA'S MONTHLY COMMUNITY MEETINGS
As lifelong Lower 9th Ward residents we have come to appreciate its uniqueness and quiet beauty. The people of this community are what make this neighborhood great, and we are blessed to raise our families here. We are concerned about our community and the lack of attention being given to this area. The Community Meetings are held so that people can engage in conversing with each other on topics that are useful for the community. Lower 9th Ward NENA Community Meetings are scheduled every second Saturday of the month. 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Food, drinks, and door prizes are given out at every Community Meeting. So don’t be the one to miss out!
