ONS bulletin highlights 5 Mile Prairie history, local workshops and ticket savings
Summary
The Office of Neighborhood Services’ monthly bulletin featured a brief history of 5 Mile Prairie, an empowered communication workshop at The Hive on March 15, a limited-time Numerica Scribe ticket discount, and a signup for the ONS newsletter.
Amber, an Office of Neighborhood Services representative, presented several neighborhood items in the ONS monthly news bulletin, including local history, an upcoming workshop, a limited ticket discount and a newsletter signup.
The bulletin said the J. F. Strong House, built in 1879, is the oldest inhabited house on the 5 Mile Prairie. It said Mr. Strong was the first to build on the prairie and that by the end of the year six other families had built nearby. The segment stated the neighborhood—s name changed to "5 Mile" in 1908 to signify the distance to Spokane Falls in downtown Spokane.
The bulletin noted a limited-time $5 savings on each Numerica Scribe ticket for Spokane residents; listeners were told to mention "Sky High savings" to the cashier for up to four tickets. The announcement did not specify whether the offer is restricted to city residents or when the offer expires beyond "this is the last month".
ONS also promoted an empowered communication workshop for residents on Saturday, March 15, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at The Hive. The segment encouraged neighborhood involvement and invited listeners to attend the next neighborhood council meeting.
Finally, Amber directed listeners to sign up for the monthly ONS newsletter and to visit my.spokanecity.org/neighborhoods. These items were presented as community announcements; no formal actions or policy decisions were recorded in the bulletin.
