Register for Good Neighbor 101
Chandler’s Neighborhood Resources is back with Good Neighbor 101 — a four-session program where participants will have the opportunity to hear from and learn about the services and programs of city departments that impact their neighborhood.
If you’re interested in learning about public safety, cultural amenities, new developments coming to the city and how that process works, and more — you’ll want to sign up! Each 90-minute session will provide residents with resources, tools and valuable information.
The sessions are scheduled on Wednesday evenings from 4-5:30 p.m. Feb. 7, Feb. 21, March 6 and 20, at Chandler Museum, 300 S. Chandler Village Drive. Participants that attend all four sessions will be entered to win funding from the neighborhood assistance program in the amount of $500 to be used towards their neighborhood’s next G.A.I.N. event.
