Hello friends and neighbors, As a direct result of the Community Visioning Meeting SMAMS had in November, we’ve decided to change our committee structure to better reflect the future work of St. Mark’s Area Main Street. Below is a list of the new SMAMS committees – including an initial meeting date/time and contact person. We hope you will participate. This is a great opportunity to help set the course for the work these committees will do in 2014!

If you are interested in learning about a committee but can’t attend the meeting, please let us know by emailing the contact person or emailing/calling Meaghan in the SMAMS office (office@smams.org, 617-825-3846). Feel free to pass this information along to your neighborhood listservs, friends, and neighbors. The more the merrier!

Note: all of these initial meetings will take place in the SMAMS office, 1914 Dorchester Ave.
