The General Membership Meeting will also include information on an upcoming community mural project, and representatives from Dranoff Properties will be presenting an updated proposal for the Royal Theater. There are many exciting events coming up this fall; be sure to check the SOSNA calendar often so you are up-to-date on what's happening in the neighborhood. The SOSNA Initiatives page is also a great place to explore our numerous committees and projects. If you are interested in making the neighborhood a safer place to be, check out a Safety Committee Meeting.
