What's Happening

This has been a busy spring and summer for the FPCA. We elected a new slate of Officers and Board Members at our Annual Meeting in March and continued our efforts to plan several programs and utilize the remaining funds from our Neighborhood Council Stabilization Grant.

Welcome to Spring in all its glory!

Thanks to the diligence and hard work of our Board and Committee members, the FPCA has again had a very productive last few months.

Our year has again been full and successful, and this newsletter has lots of details about past and upcoming endeavors.

We had a very successful Annual Meeting at the ECOS building. We elected our officers and Board for the 2024-2025 year, heard a wonderful presentation about the planned Forest Park Horticulture Learning Center by Mayor Dominick Sarno and PBRM Director Patrick Sullivan, celebrated individuals and businesses in our neighborhood, and enjoyed good food and good company.

The FPCA has had a busy few months. We have been asked to weigh in on multiple zoning variance situations and to help guide our community members with traffic, safety, and litter concerns.

In March, it was really gratifying to see so many of our members, both

longtime and new, join us for our annual meeting at the beautiful ECOS

building in Forest Park.

Happy New Year! It has been great to see so many participants at our monthly meetings in our new home, the John J. Shea Bright Nights Building in Forest Park. This fall and winter, we had a very successful Halloween Party at the Garfield/Fairfield Triangle. The children, teens, and parents really got into the spirit with costumes, games, and wonderful sweet treats.

Last year was a challenging year, not just for the FPCA but for everyone in our community. We have had to forego many of our traditional celebrations due to COVID restrictions, and we were unable to meet in person for many, many months.
