In lieu of the regular bi-monthly meeting, Upper Noe Neighbors hosted a Post-Election Social at the VIP Scrub Club on Church Street. The agenda was mainly an opportunity for the community to mix, mingle and learn about UNN. The committee informed the community about what activities we have been working on and shared our successes. We also wanted to welcome and highlight the VIP Scrub Club as a newer business on Church Street. We wish them long life and prosperity as they add to the streetscape of our small business district.

UNN helped VIP Scrub Club owners Lancy Woo and Sage Cotton transform the attractive dog wash and grooming store into a colorful nightclub, complete with live music and delicious food and drink. About 65 members and neighbors attended, some with their dogs who were very welcome.
