IN PICTURES: ARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HOSTS END OF SUMMER SOCIAL + SURVEY
I wish I had time to write about how amazing this event was. Over 60 people came out to learn more about ADC projects in Anacostia and weigh in on where the focus should be going forward. It was an amazing meeting and the feedback was truly invaluable. This was one of those meetings that I wish members of the media made time to attend, it would take their perceptions about what they think Ward 8 residents want and totally change them.
Hugs to my co-workers for working triple time to make sure we got a great turn. About 75% of the attendees were people we had not seem before -- a real treat!
Stay tuned for more of these type of community input meetings.
P.S. We had three $100 winners! It pays to come to meetings! :)
