No October Meeting + Newsletter Submissions

TL;DR:
There’s no October ECNA meeting! Mark your calendar for our November ECNA meeting on Tues, Nov 12 at 7:00pm at Columbia Community Bible Church—we’ll be filling Board vacancies (including Secretary).

Hi neighbors! East Columbia has been a little quiet and some of us will be traveling this fall, so there will not be an October ECNA meeting. But we’ve got great ways to connect: new newsletter opportunities and an important November meeting where we’ll fill open Board seats. Read on for details and how you can take part.

What’s Happening

No October Meeting

Because many neighbors will be out of town and schedules are packed, there will be no ECNA meeting in October. Enjoy the fall season and we’ll see you in November.
