For the second month in a row, because of a holiday closing of the Heights Community Center, the group met at Differential Brewing on Yale.
Luminarias were discussed. There is no funding to hire out the job this year. There was interest in returning to having neighbors set up the luminarias on Christmas Eve this year.
Kristelle Siarza Moon gave a presentation. She is the CEO of the marketing firm Siarza. She talked about ways that residents can work with businesses to strengthen neighborhood bonds, especially as a way of supporting the businesses along Central Avenue in Silver Hill, University Heights and Nob Hill.
