Join us for a morning of connection, conversation, and action at our upcoming Community Summit hosted by South Deering Manor Community Association & Rosemoor Community Association in collaboration with local partners.

This gathering is designed to bring together residents from South Deering, Rosemoor, Calumet Heights, Pill Hill, Vets Park, Washington Heights, and surrounding communities to:

Build new relationships across neighborhoods
Surface the strengths and assets already present in our community
Share stories and lived experiences
Explore practical ways to work together
Identify clear next steps for community involvement

This is not a lecture or a political panel. The heart of the Summit is small-group conversation, storytelling, and collective reflection. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with neighbors, share what matters to you, and learn how community-owned data and collaboration can support long-term neighborhood stability and growth.

What to Expect

Warm welcome
Light refreshments and bites
Opening storytelling to ground our time together
Guided table conversations
A brief, accessible framing on community data and shared assets

Breakout discussions around topics like:

Community skills and strengths
Civic participation
Care networks
Economic stability

Clear, voluntary pathways to stay engaged after the Summit

Whether you are a longtime resident, new neighbor, youth leader, elder, organizer, artist, or simply curious about getting more involved—your voice belongs in this space.

Come as you are. Bring a neighbor. Leave with a clear understanding of what we can build together.
