A Walk in the Woods with Mayor Hammoud

     On Thursday, September 12, 2024, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm, Mayor Hammoud will conduct a walk-through in our community. This is an opportunity for Mayor Hammoud to see and hear firsthand from **US**, the Snow Woods residents about the issues we face and complain about daily on Facebook. Complaints such as unkept lawns, disrespectful motorists, rat problems and everything else that we have mentioned on FB. There **IS** strength in numbers so let’s move the complaints/conversations from FB to a “live” session with the Mayor. This is our time to be heard in an effort to make a positive difference in our neighborhood. And it's a great opportunity to meet some new people too!

Hope you can join us on Thursday, September 12th at 1:00 pm at the parking lot of Dearborn Schools Ten Eyck Administrative Center 18700 Audette St. Dearborn, Michigan 48124.
