WRCO ANNUAL MEETING
SAVE THE DATE for the WRCO Annual Meeting on September 11. Join us at Warren Park at 6:30PM for conversation and snacks with the program starting at 7PM.
We are excited to have a presentation by guest speaker Joel Hamernick of the Campaign for a More Just Chicago. This campaign is being kicked off to create a charter for the City of Chicago. You may not know that our city has no charter. A city charter is a formal document that establishes a city as a legal entity and outlines its structure, powers, and governance, including the responsibilities of its elected officials, administrative functions, and the rights of its citizens.
New York City created a charter in the 80’s and Los Angeles created one in the 90’s. In both cities it has resulted in increased checks and balances, improved responsiveness and accountability, modernized and streamlined government operations and provided for legal and fiscal integrity.
Join us on the 11th to learn more about what a charter could mean for the city, what the campaign involves and how we can have input for the West Ridge community.
