Donate to Food Pantry 
Bring Items to Neighborhood Meetings

As you may know the Lake View Pantry has seen an increase in requests for food due to the economy.  Bring your non-perishable food items to your next branch or LVCC Meeting and we'll take care of delivering the items to the pantry.  Find out when my branch meets.

Townhall Meeting Tonight

CAPS 1AM Meeting
Addressing Late Night Issues  
 
Do you know what happens when the moon comes out?  In all seriousness, the neighborhood is quite different after midnight.  To experience it first hand and to talk with the 2331 Beat team that watches over Halsted Street, the next CAPS 2331 meeting on October 3-4th will be at 1AM (e.g. after midnight) at Yoshi's. 
Upcoming Election
