On October 25, I attended the Spokane Neighborhood Summit for the second year in a row! While Millwood is not a Spokane neighborhood but instead its own municipality, the Spokane Office of Neighborhood Services has allowed me to attend to learn about regional developments and gain a better understanding of the Neighborhood Council system of the City of Spokane. This year, I had the added bonus of being invited by the Spokane Food Policy Council President, Stephanie Watson, to co-present on the topic of Neighborhood Community Food Systems. It was a fantastic day of meeting with Spokane City Council members, candidates, and sharing fellowship with community-minded citizens across the region.
Thank you, Amber Groe, Community Programs Coordinator, for hosting another outstanding Spokane Neighborhood Summit!
