Meeting Minutes

At Central Roxborough Civic Association, we understand that it's not always possible for everyone in the community to attend our general meetings. That's why we make it a priority to record detailed minutes during these gatherings. These minutes serve as a valuable resource for those who couldn't be present, as well as for anyone who wants to review the discussions and decisions made during the meetings. You can easily access the minutes on our dedicated meeting minutes page, where you will find a wealth of information that will keep you informed and involved in the happenings of our community.
