Volunteers Needed For July 11 ‘Public Official Appreciation’ Hospitality
From River Bend neighbor Mike Hildebrand:
“I wanted to give you all a heads up and an opportunity to participate in what I think will prove to be a very positive event for our neighborhood. The event committee has taken a very successful event from the neighborhoods past (The Cop Feed) and developed it into what we are calling our “River Bend Neighborhood Association Public Official 24-Hour Appreciation Breakfasts & Dinner” on July 10th beginning at noon and going through until noon on July 11th in the Salvation Army parking lot at the corner of 6th Avenue and Forest Avenue.
“We would like to show our appreciation to the different departments that continue to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood through their diligence of enforcing the law and regulations, protecting us and our neighbors, and partnering with us on neighborhood improvements such as rezoning and the 6th Avenue Revitalization Project.”
Invitations have gone out to Mayor Frank Cownie and members of the Des Moines City Council, along with employees from the Des Moines Police Department, the local Fire Station #4, appointed members of the Des Moines Planning and Zoning Board, officials from the city’s Office of Community Development, Office of Economic Development, our neighborhood’s City Inspector, Bob Reynolds, and Polk County Supervisor Angela Connolly.
Event organizers need help with staffing the event and providing some food supplies. Please contact Mike Hildebrand [ Hildebrand [dot] Mike [at] principal [dot] com ] if you might be available to help out with the event.
Volunteers are needed to set up the event, July 10, between 10 am and noon, as well as for staffing the event in two-hour shifts between noon July 10, and noon July 11. Help is also needed for cleaning up afterward.
