MEET THE DOMINICAN CENTER
The Dominican Center took home the BMO Bank Cornerstone Award from the 2020 MANDI Awards! As a donor, supporter and friend of Dominican Center, YOU made this possible! Your support allows us to roll up our sleeves and serve Amani. We share this award with you and the Amani residents, the ones who made this all possible! Video courtesy of LISC Milwaukee.
DC OFFICE IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC
Out of an abundance of caution, and due to the current spike in COVID-19 cases in our area, the Dominican Center offices will be closed to the public through January. In addition, all Dominican Center hosted meetings will be virtual. Dominican Center staff members are facilitating a hybrid schedule of remote and in-office work and can be reached by phone, voicemail or email. We will work to safely transition back to fully opening our facility once it is safe to do so. Please contact us at 414.444.9930 for more information.

Curbing Reckless Driving: Help Bring Traffic Calming Planters to Amani
|
Reckless driving is a problem across Milwaukee and the Amani Neighborhood would like to do something about it. We have seen the success other neighborhoods have had with Traffic Calming Planters, and would like to see them installed at the busiest intersections in Amani.
We've signed a petition to install the planters in Amani. If you would like to help, add your name to the petition and SHARE it with anyone who lives, works or plays in Amani. Sign it here: https://chng.it/4hqLzTPyQM |
