Saturday Coffee with the SNA Board
Hi neighbors,
The Sunnyside Neighborhood Association Board is all about getting to know our neighbors better! That’s why we’re starting a casual coffee meetup at the local coffee joint, the Railroad Expresso this Saturday 6/1/2024, from 10 to 11am. Swing by for some java and a chat with us. Whether you wanna talk about neighborhood stuff, share your thoughts, or just hang out, we’re here for it. Let’s make our community even sunnier together!
Your SNA Board
VOTING STARTS FRIDAY MAY 31 TO SELECT PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROJECTS
Voting starts on Friday May 31 for District 7 residents age 16 and older for the 15 Participatory Budgeting Projects selected as finalists, including one supported by SNA for benches at the MUNI bus stop at the northwest corner of Monterey and Gennessee (in front of Won Kok Restaurant).
Although there is no limit to the number of projects that residents can support, only projects that receive a minimum of 400 votes will get funding, so it’s important for as many of Sunnyside’s residents to vote as possible.
Access to the online voting portal is available here, with voting open on Friday May 31:
