 Hi everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. Have you ever wondered how to get a street light fixed or how to get playground equipment for your neighborhood park? The City's Neighborhood Education Office can help you find the right department for various city services. They also help neighborhood associations get started and stay strong. Twice a year, Neighborhood University offers many classes on a variety of topics. Things like planning, a parade, or block party, organizing a neighborhood cleanup or increasing neighborhood association membership. They would be focused on maybe city services, could be community services, and then we also offer classes to help them grow their neighborhood, also giving them outside information to make good decisions for their neighborhoods. It's open to anyone in Fort Worth. This session we're doing two city services classes and two neighborhood classes. The city services classes one is about kind of our TPW department explaining to residents about how those processes work to get street fixed. The other one is about the CIP program, the bond program that's happening. It's called Bringing City Dollars to Your Neighborhoods. The two neighborhood classes are about one's a needs assessment class, so figuring out what exactly is it that your neighborhood needs. The next one is the strategic planning class. Now we know what our neighborhood needs, what do we do? You'll also meet with the neighborhood educator assigned to your area and learn about dozens of ways they can help you tackle neighborhood concerns. We also have exhibitor tables and so they can also get a load of information from our exhibitor tables. The next neighborhood university is Saturday, August 10th from 8am to noon at the Hazel Harvey Peace Center. For more information just call 817-392-6201.
