When and Where to Find Us

   The Rock Hill Council of Neighborhoods holds our general meetings on the fourth Thursday of every month, except for December, as there is no meeting that month. We meet at 6:30 p.m. in the Housing & Neighborhood Services Building at 150 Johnston Street. Meetings generally last about 60 minutes and are informal in nature.
   Our meetings are open to the public, so anyone can visit. We do ask that you please contact us ahead of time if you would like to visit a meeting, so we can make sure we have a space for you. Occasionally we have meals during our meetings so we need to make sure we have extra if you're coming to visit on one of those evenings.
