She said the event is particularly aimed at new residents in the ward who may not yet be familiar with their elected officials.
"Some people have just moved into our ward and really don’t know us," Brown noted. "I want to give opportunity for one-on-one interactions where they can ask questions, introduce themselves, and share the work I have done."
Brown highlighted her commitment to community service and her advocacy for local initiatives, including encouraging students to earn community service hours through participation in local government meetings and volunteer opportunities.
She expressed her desire to increase home affordability, maintain a child-friendly community, and secure funding for youth programs while supporting small businesses.
"My passion is Alton," Brown stated. "I love Alton and I am asking my constituents to go another round with Rosie Brown."
Refreshments will be served at the event.
