River Bend Neighborhood

Plan on attending the next River Bend Neighborhood Meeting.

• When/Where are meetings held?
  Meetings are held the second Monday of each month at 7pm at the Salvation Army building at 1330 6th Ave. (Map)
• Who can attend?
  Everyone is welcome to attend, and there’s no charge. If you want to become a member, which gives you rights to vote for the Association board, the cost is $10 per person per year.
