Everyone Welcome!!!

We need to keep Last Thursday the vibrant event that it has been for many years while promoting respect for the neighbors and the broader community. At this forum we will discuss issues including:

  • Promoting community involvement with the event

  • Keeping Last Thursday from becoming commercialized
  • Ensuring that local artists are represented
  • Addressing parking needs of neighbors
  • Promoting alternative transportation
  • Discussing how to solve problems such as underage drinking,
    open containers, late night noise, trash and public urination

    • Want to be in a Parade?

    Neighbors’ Night Out August 4, 2009

    Teams, schools, friends, church groups, businesses, child care, YOU! Organize a group or come by yourself but plan to get out for some fun! Concordia Neighborhood Association is sponsoring a parade August 4.

    The Decoration Station will be at Faubion Elementary School parking lot facing NE Dekum open from 5 pm on to decorate your bike, trike, wagon etc. The parade starts at 6 pm and we will work our way to Fernhill Park for music, food, activities and more fun! A kazoo band? A wagon train? A hula-hoop troupe? Get creative and join the parade!

    Team Last Thursday, a newly formed nonprofit, is committed to making Last Thursday an event everyone can enjoy. Join your friends and neighbors at an open forum to discuss:

    • Our Plan for 2009
    • Updates on Traffic, Trash & Alcohol
    • New Noise/Amplified Music Policy
      [Our new policy prohibits amplified music that can be heard
      100 feet beyond its source. We have applied for a noise variance,
      which will give us the authority to enforce the policy.]
