Welcome to the premiere edition of our newsletter. Enjoy the articles and remember to enter the Newsletter Title Contest (Great Prizes).

DMRA is about to engage in an activity that will impact our neighborhood--the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP). By going through the NRP process, we will be able to set forth new programs and make significant physical improvements in our neighborhood. But, in order for the NRP to work, we need your input. Residents need to voice their concerns and ideas for improvements. Residents can be heard in a number of ways: neighborhood meetings, surveys, and focus groups. Please participate in some way because there are plenty of opportunities to make positive changes in your area of interest.

DMRA has recently merged onto the "Information Superhighway." It has information about your downtown neighborhood. We have a Home Page on the Internet's World Wide Web:

<URL:http://www.thedmna.org/>

This site contains information about neighborhood meetings, minutes, special events, and contacts. Most of the Downtown Minneapolis Residents Information Book is in "hypertext," so you can access this information online. Any questions about our Internet? Send an email note to: dmra@freenet.msp.mn.us.
