I. Mission/ Vision
Here is our revised DRAFT mission statement. This may change over time.

" The ___________Association is an inclusive neighborhood group of people with an interest in the area bounded by Peace Street, Wade Avenue, Fletcher Park, St. Mary's Street, and the rail road tracks. The Association actively works to preserve our neighborhood's physical surroundings, sense of community, and diversity through social, charitable, and relationship-building activities among neighbors and with the City of Raleigh as a whole."

Those present agreed that this was a good working mission statement.

We will try to come up with a vision statement at the next meeting, based on the recommendations of the committees.
