Come out to the Whose Foods Rally on Monday, 2/28! There's a lot of momentum right now in the opposition to Whole Foods coming to JP, but the most vital piece of the resistance is the voice of community members.

Hello N4N,

Wanted to let you know that there is going to be a second forum to discuss the arrival of WF at the location of the former Hi-Lo. It will take place on Feb 28th at 7pm, at the Kennedy School, 7 Bolster Street. 

Some who attended the first meeting said afterward that they felt uncomfortable sharing their point of view. We (the JPNC) are disappointed that this was the case, and are working to make sure this next forum feels like a safe place to express ALL points…

Hello JP neighbors,

My friend, Nancy, and I just started teaching Zumba classes at Spontaneous celebrations. Info is below. We had a wonderful first week of classes, with neighbors coming out, boogying down, having fun, getting some great exercise, and connecting with one another!

If you check out a class in February, your first class is FREE. This Monday, Feb. 14, the theme is Self-Love Zumba.

Are you ready to party…

I see there is an email address on JPNC's website (info.jpnc AT gmail.com) but I was unsure whether…
