TCNA Cook-out and General Meeting

June 20, 3 to 5 PM

Calvert Middle School

Rain or shine

TCNA will supply beef and veggie burgers, hot dogs and rolls, condiments, potato chips, soft drinks, water, beer, wine and ice.


Neighbors have volunteered to bring one grill, charcoal and lighter fluid, grilling utensils, paper and plastic supplies, trash bags.


Still need neighbors to:

  • Bring side dishes and desserts
  • Help with set up, grilling and clean-up
  • Have children help with games and activities
  • Bring games such as corn toss, horse shoes, croquet
  • Bring one more grill


Please RSVP so we have an idea how much food to order. One year we ran out of burgers because we had such a great crowd of neighbors. Also let us know if you would like to volunteer to help. It's a great way to see and meet your neighbors.

Residential Permit Parking (RPP)


Neighbors who live in the RPP blocks need to register their cars between June 1 and June 30. It can be done online or in person at the City Parking Authority.


Sharon Dlhosh will be the TCNA's RPP neighborhood contact.
