New supergroup wants to connect neighborhood groups to benefit the 'hood
A new group is launching in Georgetown, but you might recognize some of the folks involved.
As the name implies, the Georgetown Coalition is composed of neighborhood groups with the goal of working together to share resources and coordinate to do bigger and better things for the residents, businesses, artists and visitors in the neighborhood. The coalition includes the Georgetown Association of Arts & Culture, Georgetown Business Association, Georgetown Community Council, Friends of Georgetown History, Georgetown Steamplant, Watershed Community Development and the Georgetown Gazette.
Like Temple of the Dog or Voltron, these groups hope to be more powerful working together, including building a pool of volunteers all Georgetown groups can call on and creating and maintaining a community calendar. They plan to meet quarterly to share updates, discuss common issues and bolster each other’s efforts.
“We recognize that there are multiple Georgetown groups and wanted to have one place that shows them along with a shared Georgetown calendar,” said Heather Carney, president of the GCC, which is a coalition member.
Individuals can join as well as groups that have information to share. Go to https://www.georgetowncoalition.org/ for more information.
