The fourth annual St. Louis Neighborhood Conference, organized and sponsored by SLACO (St. Louis Association of Community Organizations) and St. Louis Community College at Forest Park will be held Saturday, April 17, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the College. The morning keynote address will be given by Ray Suarez, host of NPR’s Talk of the Nation and author of The Old Neighborhood.
The conference is designed to bring together a wide variety of individuals who share a common interest in improving the living conditions in the neighborhoods of St. Louis. If you are committed to maintaining and improving the quality of life in Skinker DeBaliviere, you should plan to attend.
Topics covered in a variety of “how to” workshops and programs include Organizational Effectiveness, Youth and School Issues, Housing Issues, Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Safety, Community Economic Development and “New American” Issues.
The $10.00 registration fee includes a box lunch and Continuing Education Credits if requested.
