The Freetown-Port Rico Coterie was established in 2006, and is currently incorporating as a non-profit organization. Its 12 member board is comprised of residents and business owners within the neighborhoods. A simple definition of a Coterie would be:
"an elected group of neighbors who join together to create plans
and solve challenges that benefit the neighborhood."
Our monthly public meetings are held at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the Maison Creole de Freetown, 800 E. Vermilion Street.
For more information about the Coterie, to join our monthly mailing list for upcoming meetings and events, or to find out more about how to get involved, please email:
