These informal community meetings will be held on the last Thursday of each month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Southside Interfaith CDC, 500 W. Newell St. Neighbors in McKinley Community and friends in other Syracuse neighborhoods and surrounding areas welcome. They provide the hot coffee; you provide the hot topics.

The Syracuse NAACP 2018 State of the Community Address - "Our Vision, 2018 & Beyond" - will be presented by Linda Brown-Robinson, president of the local group. To learn more, contact Brown-Robinson at (315) 440-6340.
