Howdy!
School's out and summer is finally here. Be sure to take full advantage of our city's resources, maybe take a dip at the Lady Bird Johnson Pool, or visit one of District 10’s libraries to read a good story. There are several hidden gems in District 10 to explore.
Please mark your calendars for the next Northeast Neighborhood Alliance General Meeting set for June 27, 7 p.m. at the Northeast Service Center at the Tool Yard (Northeast Service Center located at 10303 Tool Yard).
The agenda includes briefings on the FY 23 proposed City budget from City Manager Erik Walsh, SA Tomorrow City Planning community meetings feedback, the Great Springs Trails Project, and updates on City issues. We will also hear from some of our District 10 appointees serving on various City Boards and Commissions. You won’t want to miss it!
Do you have ideas for District 10? If so, the District 10 Team would like to attend your next HOA meeting, or if you'd like to sign up for our Roadshow, we'd be happy to help set that up with you. Please email District10@sanantonio.gov with the date, time, and point of contact to schedule our attendance at your next HOA meeting. I look forward to hearing from you!
