Agenda:
Residents welcomed Owen Stone, the Resource Recruiter for the Thread Program. The Thread Program has been in Baltimore for 16 years and works in 6 different high schools across the city working with students in the lower 25% of population academically. The program works with students for 10 years. There are multiple volunteers assigned to each student and many volunteers are needed. Mr. Stone outlined what the volunteer commitment entails. The Thread office, which is located in Mondawmin Mall, is currently closed but all programs are running virtually. To make a connection with Thread go to thread.org or email owen.stone@thread.org.
Chris Anderson, GOP candidate for City Council District 7 shared his vision for District 7 with residents. Anderson lives near our neighborhood and feels that the city needs a change in government, which he feels the Republican party can provide.
