Usually, at this time of year, the SoDo NRZ Social Committee is busy preparing for our annual fundraiser, The Downtown Hartford Progressive Dinner. This would have been our tenth year hosting 75+ neighbors for a fun, walkable evening of drinks, dinner, dessert, and socializing at a variety of private homes and apartments in SoDo, Charter Oak, and Downtown. For many of us, the Progressive Dinner was the last major social event we attended in 2020. Most public events were postponed or canceled in the days following, and then the state went into shutdown just three weeks later.
Volunteer needed to assist with short term SoDo NRZ administration project. Must be highly organized, proficient in Google Drive, Microsoft Office, and Gmail, and have access to own computer and internet. SoDo member preferred. Email sodonrz@gmail.com for more info.
The next SoDo NRZ meeting of the 2020-21 year will be Wednesday, January 20 at 6:00 pm on Zoom. RSVP by 4pm the day of the meeting to SoDoNRZ@gmail.com for the link and Agenda, or click here to download both.
Our guest speakers include Matt Conway of The RiseUP Group, sharing information on a new mural planned for private property on Buckingham Street (you can take a survey and share your input in advance here). Also, John Thomas of Community Solutions will join us with information on the Swift Factory Project. We look forward to catching up on neighborhood news with you!
Clearing your sidewalk is not just a courtesy for your neighbors, it is a City Ordinance: Snow must be removed from sidewalks, curb ramps, and fire hydrants within 6 hours of a storm ending, or by 9 am if the storm was overnight, otherwise it is a $99/day fine until the issue is corrected.
