Congratulations to Drew for being recognized for the outstanding work he does in our community every day! NFC was proud to work with Drew and others from the Highland/Oak Park DSM on the 1st Annual Celebrate the Parks event in 2018. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/201…

Being the only place in #USA with the Turnaround Arts program (TurnaroundArts:DSM) in our neighborhood school feeder pattern, the low-cost Northside of Des Moines (Highland/Oak Park DSM) should be a hotbed for artist/student collab to make a beautiful art culture! #dsmusa #livedsm #Iowa

This month we will introduce our new 2019 neighborhood leaders and steering committee, provide a look back at the crime report for December, and we will have Councilman Chris Coleman visiting to lead a discussion on the upcoming Penny Tax that is up for vote in March. Tues @ 7pm.
