General Membership Meeting
The roots of CHUN are in its
Neighborhood Assemblies. Leadership
and ideas come from the local groups
working to solve ; problems close to
their homes.
September's General Meeting will
take a look at this system. It has
the potential to be a model of participatory democracy.
Is it working? How can we make
it work better?
The meeting will focus on zoning
issues particularly. Every neighborhood in Capitol Hill is being faced
with decisions about zoning changes.
CHUN is working to coordinate
the efforts of the Neighborhood
Assemblies with local neighbors who
have not yet joined CHUN or its Zoning and Land Use Committee. How can
we do this more effectively?
CHUN and the Neighborhood Assemblies are here to give your views a
voice. We1re always striving to do
that. How are we doing?
If you have thoughts on how we
can represent you better, or if you
want to explore how this system can
give you a role in shaping the future
of Capitol Hill, please join us.
The meeting will be held in the
Meeting Hall of the Capitol Hill Community Center, 1290 Williams, on
Thursday, September 17 at 7:30 p.m.
Refreshments will be served.
