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.
The Neighborhood Leadership Council is an initiative of the Muncie Action Plan that brings together neighborhood association leaders from across the city of Muncie to share best practices, take advantage of educational opportunities, and connect with local resources and area nonprofits. The group meets on the third Tuesday of each month on the third floor of the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center (400 W. Minnetrista Pkwy) at 6:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
We’re hosting our regular monthly meeting at E.B. Ball tonight (6/16/26) at 6:00 p.m. We’ll have a few guests representing local law enforcement participate on a panel. We hope this is an opportunity to learn more about what our law enforcement partners are involved in and how we can help keep our communities safe.
