The Corona del Mar Residents Association’s (CdMRA) 2026 Annual Town Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 6, at the lovely Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar.
Our annual signature event includes two distinct segments:
- 5:00 p.m.: Community Social and Civic Expo which includes interactive displays, meet-and-greet stations for City Staff and local Civic groups, hosted refreshments and a Silent Auction.
- 6:15 p.m.: A speakers’ program which will address a local and timely topic that impacts CdM residents as well as our CdM businesses and visitors.
The Expo @ 5:00 p.m. features representatives from City departments and community organizations. Hosted refreshments will be provided, and we have an amazing Silent Action with curated items from local businesses and community organizations.
City departments participating in the Civic Expo include the Newport Beach Police Department (including Crime Prevention and Neighborhood Watch staff), Newport Beach Fire Department (joined by Newport Fire Safe Committee and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) representatives), Community Development/Code Enforcement, Public Works/Water Quality, Library Services, and Recreation/Senior Services.
We have also invited representatives from civic/community organizations such as the Newport Beach Film Festival, CDM Chamber of Commerce, Friends of OASIS, SPON (Still Protecting Our Newport) and more. This is your opportunity to meet with City and community representatives to discuss issues and concerns, or simply to stop to say hello.
The Speakers’ Program starts as 6:15 p.m. and opens with a Public Safety report from our Police and Fire departments. Following that report, a panel of residents will discuss their perspectives on the potential building of the Newport Beach Police complex in Civic Center Park.
With the beautiful backdrop of Sherman Gardens and the timely community topics, we know that CdMRA’s Annual Town Meeting will be a fun and informative event for all who attend.
