Gold Coast Neighbors Mission

 
Gold Coast Townhouse

Our mission is to enhance the beauty and protect the heritage of our historic area for the benefit of the neighbors, the City of Chicago at large and for all those who visit our lakefront and parkways. We accomplish this by educating neighbors about our history, providing information on current matters of importance, serving as a public voice, contributing to area beautification and sponsoring forums to exchange ideas. We are primarily an all-volunteer organization and we do these things because we are passionate about our unique neighborhood.
