Starting in 2016 the Greater South Loop Association will host a monthly Neighbor's Night Out for anyone wanting to meet up and be part of the neighborhood's future. Each month will have a general topic, and we'll invite relevant speakers to share some thoughts and be part of the dialogue. These sessions will also help the Greater South Loop Association fulfill its role as a conduit for neighborhood input on important community development issues.

The first meeting is next Thursday, April 14, 2016 at Ping Tom Memorial Park. All meetings will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m., with the main presentation taking place at 6:15 pm. We encourage any and all residents to attend the meeting in their community, or wherever they spend most time on the rivers.
