June 16, 2015, the Neighborhood Presidents & Association Board Members along with their families met for a summer cookout at Heekin Park where they got an introduction to the Muncie Symphony Orchestra’s Community Outreach program, including a demonstration by orchestra member Brittany Hendricks, Principal Trumpeter
The Muncie Action Plan hosted a holiday party and awards event for the neighborhood association presidents, board members and their families. The mayor opened the celebration with a thank you to the presidents for their continued efforts to improve their neighborhoods. Jim Wingate and Ginny Nilles of MAP’s Task Force 2 handed out awards to each neighborhood and Heather Williams awarded the associations that collected the most trash in the Spring and Fall 2014 cleanups. Isabelle Sowers also handed out awards to the top volunteers and thanked everyone for their help in canvassing neighborhoods during 2014.
