Eastown Community Association Hosts Annual Meeting, Announces Wilcox Park Five Year Plan

On Saturday, February 8, the Eastown Community Association (ECA) will host its annual meeting, an event that, according to ECA Executive Director Lindsey Ruffin, is a perfect time for Eastown residents to learn more about the ECA and also to meet more people in their community.

The event will include a pancake breakfast, ECA updates, the election of new board members, raffle prizes and the five year plan for Wilcox Park, as assembled by ECA’s Wilcox Park Committee. 

“The committee has worked very hard on the master plan for Wilcox Park by including some of the original features of the park along with new designs to enrich the area and increase community involvement and activity at the park, year-round.  We are excited to share the new plans and drawings with community members and receive their input and feedback,” said Ruffin.

Ruffin notes there has been a positive response in regards to attendance and hopes that numbers will continue to increase over the next few days.

“The pancake breakfast is a fun time for Eastown residents to learn more about the ECA and also to meet more people in their community,” said Ruffin. “Events like this are just one way that the ECA hopes to engage more community members as well as show off the work we are doing in Eastown.”
