Purpose

The Dorchester North Neighborhood Association (DNNA) seeks to build community and connect neighbors by providing a forum for sharing information and openly discussing issues that affect our diverse community. The boundaries of the DNNA are: Pleasant Street, Pond Street, Columbia Road, and Stoughton Street. DNNA operates within the boundaries of the Columbia Savin Hill Civic Association, focusing on hyper-local issues and serving as a liaison to the larger group when broader support is needed.


Meeting Information

DNNA meets bimonthly on the second Thursday of the month from 7:00–8:00 PM (September, November, January, March, May, and occasionally July). When possible, meetings are held in person at the Community Room of the Annapolis Street Apartments. Meeting details, including location and Zoom link, will be shared via email, on the CSHCA calendar, and posted on our Facebook page in advance.

To get on our email list, simply send an email to: dorchesternorth@gmail.com and ask to be added.
