Do you want to meet Mayor Greg Ballard?

Got a gripe for Mayor Greg Ballard? Want to hear what his administration has planned for the Northeastside, and how Eagle Nest could be affected? Make plans to attend the 48th annual Mayor's Night Out, an opportunity to meet Ballard and key city representatives responsible for roads, crime and fire prevention, public works, etc.

The event will be Thursday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 7 p.m. at Heritage Christian School, 6401 E. 75th Street. The event will be in the school's Fine Arts Building (look for the large HCS cross logo on the building). The event is free and open to the public.

This is a great opportunity for Eagle Nest residents to hear area residents' questions and concerns, as well as share their own. The event also is a great way to meet the city officials directly responsible for running the various municipal departments that we all depend on -- and to bend their ears on what we as a neighborhood need and would like. Among topics sure to be discussed are the planned widening and repaving of East 82nd Street, as well as the rise in neighborhood burglaries.

The mayor will take questions, but they need to be submitted in advance to Noelle Malatestinic, Eagle Nest's mayoral neighborhood liaison, at (317) 408-1991 or by email at Noelle.Malatestinic@indy.gov

See you Oct. 11 at Heritage Christian!
