Advocacy & Treats at LOVE Park
We need to make time to give our opinion regarding the outdoor eateries proposed for restaurants. We remember what they looked like during COVID. Inaccessible, sidewalks became impossible to get through, and no clear signage- just to name a few.
We’re meeting up on Friday, October 30th at 1pm to check them out and have fun Halloween treats! Join us at LOVE Park for a day of advocacy with some good treats!
