Dr Marvin Whitfield

Dr. Marvin Whitfield of Big Brothers, Big Sisters will be the guest speaker for the monthly Kwanzaa Park Neighbors’ meeting. Kwanzaa Park Neighbors will continue to meet at Padua Center. Although regular meetings occur during the evenings, March meetings will be during the day because of possible inclement weather.

Mrs. Phyllis Toney, chair of the Kwanzaa Park Neighbors, will welcome guests. Mrs. Annette Hannibal, Blockwatch Chair, will give input from Neighborhood Block Watch. In addition, a Community Police Officer will give statistics on the crime in the neighborhood. The program will include refreshments and planning. Everyone is invited to attend.

Kwanzaa Park Neighborhood is bordered by Dorr, Brown, Klondike, and Hawley Streets. Members of the Kwanzaa Park Neighbors meet monthly at Padua Center to investigate ways to work together (Ujima) and improve the neighborhood. Kwanzaa Park Neighbors also functions as a Block Watch site.
