ONS highlights 5 Mile Prairie history, Empowered Communication workshop and neighborhood resources
Summary
A recorded Office of Neighborhood Services bulletin recounted 5 Mile Prairie history, promoted an Empowered Communication workshop set for Saturday, March 15, and encouraged residents to sign up for the ONS newsletter and visit my.spokanecity.org/neighborhoods; a $5 ticket savings for Numerica Sky Bridal was also announced.
Amber, with the Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS), opened a neighborhood-news bulletin with a brief history of 5 Mile Prairie and several community announcements. She noted that the J. F. Strong House, built in 1879, is the oldest inhabited house on the prairie and that the neighborhood’s name was changed to 5 Mile in 1908 to mark the distance to Spokane Falls in downtown Spokane.
The bulletin promoted an Empowered Communication workshop on Saturday, March 15, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at The Hive, encouraging residents to attend to learn more about getting involved in their neighborhoods. Amber also encouraged listeners to sign up for the monthly ONS "news you can use" newsletter and to visit my.spokanecity.org/neighborhoods for more neighborhood information.
The recording included a separate consumer note that it was the last month for Spokane residents to receive a $5 savings on each Numerica Sky Bridal ticket; listeners were told to "mention Sky High savings to the cashier on up to 4 tickets." The announcement did not offer additional details about ticket availability or expiration dates beyond saying it was the last month for the savings.
Why this matters: neighborhood history and brief, free workshops are part of outreach efforts that aim to increase resident engagement and awareness of local resources and events.
