Time: 7 PM
Platform: Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89650669995?pwd=Ubi8NwMohJYgPmL3I0YaHCBM23a6ZT.1
We invite you to a community discussion about the potential merger of the East Phillips Improvement Coalition (EPIC) and the Midtown Phillips Neighborhood Association (MPNAI). This open meeting is an opportunity for everyone to share their perspectives and provide feedback on whether these two organizations should officially merge.
Over the past year, EPIC and MPNAI have been working together with joint staff to host events, engage in strategic planning, and develop community-wide initiatives. This collaboration has proven to be highly effective, and we want to update you on our progress.
Your input is necessary and invaluable as we consider making this partnership more official. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and discussing the future direction of our community efforts.

PHILLIPS CLEAN SWEEP
Second Saturday of October
This is an annual event in partnership with Minneapolis Solid Waste and Recycling and composting to clean up the community. Midtown Phillips partners with three other neighborhoods in order to clean up the Phillips area and instill a sense of community accountability and pride. In 2018, over 750 volunteers came out to help pick up trash and meet neighbors. Local businesses supported this event through donations of food and supplies. City, county and neighborhood non-profits set up project displays during lunch to provide an educational component to this event. We also raise funds to provide 6 garbage trucks in the 4 Phillips neighborhoods to pick up tires, furniture, appliances, electronics, household construction, old carpet Free of Charge to all residents!
