The Partners Roundup is an opportunity for community advocates and preservation partners from around the region to gather and share their communities’ or organizations’ challenges and successes. The formal portion of the program will feature a panel discussion with representatives of community-based and preservation organizations from around the region.

The Roundup is free and open to anyone involved in preservation or community revitalization at any level. If you’re part of a small non-profit organization or just beginning to talk about forming a community-based group, this is the event for you!

Last weekend, the Rochester Coalition for Neighborhood Living (of which The Landmark Society is a member) partnered with M/Body to host our first Celebrate City Living event, Celebrate: Neighborhood of the Arts. The event was a huge success! Close to 300 people came through to see almost two dozen businesses and organizations local to NOTA. There was food, dance demos, a workshop on self-defense, a story time for children, and more. The energy was amazing and we can’t wait to host our main event, the Celebrate City Living Housing Expo, on April 16th at City Hall. >>Learn more about the event and explore Rochester’s neighborhoods and housing opportunities at celebratecityliving.com.
