Hello Neighbors

Join us at 5:00pm at The Miriam Hospital as we gather to head out to carol. Donations or peanut butter contributions are welcome for the St. Raymond's Food Pantry.

While the weather was awful and?Wednesday?nights are often inconvenient, the turnout was very disappointing.??Without a strong community presence at the 16th's City Planning Commission Public Hearing, our cause may well be lost. PLEASE consider coming to 16th's critical meeting for the following reasons:??1) The fate of the estate will be decided on the 16th.?Whatever decision is made will be permanent and vested under the law.?2) If the decision is not in our favor, the ONLY opportunity that we have to "build the record" for an appeal process is whatever testimony you contribute on the 16th. That is it. There are NO more public hearings, etc, during the appeal process. THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE.??2) If you ABSOLUTELY cannot come, PLEASE take a moment right now to email Bob Azar of the City Planning?Commission at?razar at providenceri.com,?and cc?sharon at sharonsteele.com.?You?can?outline your concerns in an email that will go into the record.??Also, please?forward this email to at least five neighbors or friends, OR better yet, ask them in person to come to the 16ths CPC meeting.??If you want to come to the meeting but need a ride, please email?blackstone.neighborhhood.org at gmail.com?and we will arrange for someone from the Steering Committee to pick you up.??Last night, Bill Landry, the attorney representing the neighborhood, also indicated that it is very important that individuals make their voices heard at the CPC meeting.
