MMPCIA’s 2nd Annual Midsummer Membership Picnic is now Thursday, July 15, from 6 to 9 PM. The location has also changed. See below.

A strong neighborhood voice is important to Central Harlem. MMPCIA has continues to be that irrepressible squeaky wheel that the police, politicians and NYC Commissioners listen to with a bit of trepidation.

MMPCIA’s place as an advocate for the neighborhood in Harlem continues to solidify. Our impact on the revitalization and preservation issues of our community is directly attributable to the strength of our Membership–those stakeholders who understand that it takes time, talent and treasure to stay strong and relevant.

It is in appreciation of these friends and neighbors that MMPCIA is hosting its 2nd Annual A Midsummer Night’s Picnic in the Park. To our current Members its a time when we can say–Thank you! To our past Members, we want to say–Now’s the perfect time to renew! We miss you! And to our friends from in and around the neighborhood who’ve attended any of our past events–such as the monthly General Meetings, the Holiday Gala, the Spring Wine Tasting, the Annual House Tour, or the Mount Morris Talks–Now’s the perfect time to officially throw your hat in the ring with us!
