Dear GNMD Friend,
Happy Holidays! As 2021 ends, we're grateful to everyone in the Greater Northside Management District who has partnered with us.
During the past few months, we participated in several major events, and we're thrilled with the success of each!
On October 23, we held the Tour de Northside, a fun bicycle ride through the Greater Northside that showcased local businesses, including the renovated Houston Farmers Market on Airline. We had participants from Houston, Pasadena, Sugar Land, Spring and Porter! We're excited about the growth of this event.
We held ribbon cuttings at the Butterfly Pocket Park on Fulton and at the Hernandez Tunnel. Both events were well attended, and we appreciated everyone who was able to join us.
We love being out-and-about in the Greater Northside and supporting the efforts of our community. We hope you'll enjoy the pictures from these events in this newsletter.
During the holidays, your safety is foremost in our mind, so if you "See Something, Say Something."
As you finish your holiday shopping, please remember to support our local Northside Businesses and Shop Northside!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Reyna
Executive Director
