Evansville Neighborhoods Can Work Together to Make Our City Greater!

As a lifelong resident of Evansville, I take a lot of pride in my city.  I think we have so many great assets -  from quality schools to diversions and creative loafing.  We do have our share of problems, too, that's for sure.  Crime, and in particular shootings have been on the rise for the past couple of years.  Often it's gang related violence that tears up our neighborhoods, especially in the inner city.  We can work together, though, to curb some of this unwanted and senseless violence. Thus, you are invited to the next United Neighborhoods of Evansville General Membership Meeting  which will be on Thursday, February 26, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. at the CK Newsome Center, 100 East Walnut St.

United Neighborhoods of Evansville is made up of autonomous organized neighborhoods working together to preserve, enhance, and promote the Evansville neighborhoods. The group's focus is on building upon the assets of each neighborhood in order to improve the quality of life for every citizen of Evansville. The goal is to educate and empower the citizenry to determine their destiny by working in concert with the social and political entities within the greater community to achieve the type of neighborhood environment necessary for quality living. Additionally, United Neighborhoods of Evansville is a not-for-profit organization and you can learn more about the organization by visiting their website at www.unoevansville.org.
