Its goals and objectives are to develop <br />civic participation and unity within the neighborhood and to foster <br />community pride. In addition, the association is committed to preserving <br />neighborhood integrity through education, safety, conservation and <br />restoration activities. <br />To assist the neighborhood association in raising funds to advance its <br />goals and objectives, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency <br />proposes to grant the neighborhood association free use of the existing <br />concession building located within Madison Park. The association will <br />sell food and beverages out of the concession building during special <br />events held by the association at the park, such as its annual Walk-a- <br />Thon, Community Resource Fair and Concert and winter holiday celebration. <br />The neighborhood's use of the building will not conflict with Northeast <br />Little League's use during its regularly scheduled games and practices. <br />The proceeds received from concessions by Madison Park Neighborhood <br />Association will be used to support ongoing neighborhood improvement <br />projects. <br />25J-1 <br />
