Rockridge Community Planning
Council Committees
The
Rockridge Community Planning Council offers
you many opportunities to get involved in the community. You can
join an ongoing committee to work in a particular area, or get involved
in special projects such as the Friends of the Rockridge Greenbelt
(FROG) or the Rockridge Kitchen Tour. You will be collaborating
with like-minded people, who care about improving their community and
want to meet others who share their interests. See the calendar
for information about current activities.
