Also the January meeting will be pushed off for one week in January, to January 9th, due to proximity to the New Years Day holiday.

Our own Dr. MLK Jr. Elementary School has been vandalized with hate speech and graffiti targeted at children. Please review the KOIN.com article listed for more details and PLEASE use the number at the end of the article if you have any information that could lead to the identification and arrest of those responsible.
The children of our community deserve the best and should not be subjected to immature and hateful displays such as this. We need to find those responsible and see that they face consequences for their attempts to terrorize children.
The King Neighborhood Association is collecting information about past and present traffic safety problems near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School and King School Park.
