The Ellis South End Neighborhood Association was started in 1964 and incorporated as a non-profit in 1982. The mission of the association today is to enhance and preserve the quality of life in the neighborhood by bringing residents and businesses together, by providing a forum for discussing local and citywide issues, planning social activities and projects that build relationships among neighbors, creating an effective communication link with the City of Boston, and working to keep our neighbors informed of news and decisions that impact the community.
