VNA MEETING: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH AT MADAME CLAUDE CAFE
September 22, 2011
VNA 2011-2012 “Season” Starts Monday!
Monday, September 26, 2011
7:30 PM
Madame Claude Cafe
364 1/2 Fourth Street
Jersey City, NJ 07302
On behalf of the The Village Neighborhood Association Board of Directors, I’d like to invite everyone to our first 2011-2012 meeting on Monday, September 26, 2011 at Madame Claude Cafe.
We were thrilled when Alice Troletto and her husband Mattias Gustafsson invited us to have our meeting in their restaurant. The restaurant will be closed to the public, so the VNA will be providing refreshments for our meeting.
To say the summer was quiet is truly an understatement. Hurricane Irene left many Village residents under water, while exposing city-wide problems with our infrastructure. Newark Avenue construction was often difficult to negotiate, and quality of life issues around student lunch hour unexpectedly resurfaced.
So what’s on our agenda for Monday?
VNA Meeting TONIGHT April 26th @ Victoria’s Restaurant!!
April 26, 2011
Join The Village Neighborhood Association tomorrow, Tuesday April 26, at 7:30 pm, for a “Taste of the Village” night at Victoria’s Reataurant (353 Third Street).
Victoria’s is new to the neighborhood, so tomorrow night would be the perfect opportunity to stop in, eat some food, and talk Village!
We will sample the tasty pizza at Victoria’s Restaurant while hosting guests:
Bob “Bubbles” Bhatti will present his vision for the new building project at 102 – 110 Brunswick Street @ First Street (Carmine’s Pizza/Bob Bubbles)
We also welcome Felicia Noth who will talk about the need for teacher parking at PS# 5, Dr Conte School, and how this will affect our neighborhood.
Hope to see everyone tomorrow!! Tell your neighbor!
VNA Meeting – Tues. March 22nd
March 20, 2011
Last month was the first time we held our meeting at a location other than PS #5, and judging from the overwhelming positive feedback we received, its safe to say that our March meeting will again be held at the Lamp Post. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
A hot topic during last month’s meeting was a new 48 unit development proposed for the corner of Newark Avenue and Third Street. 292-294 Newark Avenue to be exact.
