Gateway Master Plan Presentation
In September, Howard County Recreation and Parks gathered public feedback on three master plan options for the redevelopment of Gateway. Now, they are ready to share a preferred master plan option! Join the public meeting on Jan 21 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM to hear a presentation about the preferred option and share your input. You’ll learn how Gateway could be transformed into a new “innovation district” – a regional destination for new research and ideas within an area that is dynamic, mixed-use, connected, and creative. Doors open at 5:15 pm. Click here to register.
Kittamaqundi Community Church
Are you:
- Committed to the work of justice, equality, and dignity?
- Seeking ways to avoid burnout and despair in the face of opposition?
- Looking for strength within and outside of yourself?
- Looking for a community that will hear and support you?
If you said “yes,” The Kittamaqundi Community Church is hosting a mutual support and learning group that may be perfect for you. While participants may bring up religious and philosophical beliefs, there will be no other religious exposure or attempts at persuasion. Members may talk about pressures and hurdles in the current environment, but the group is designed around personal growth, community care, and service, not politics. This is a community service of the church, open to all. The group will meet in person in the evening every 2 weeks in February and March, exact dates to be announced soon. If you are interested in more information, email Ken Katzen at [email protected].
