Greetings & Thoughts
For many of you, today is the conclusion of a three-day weekend and perhaps the only day of the weekend for which the outdoors will be welcoming. But don’t let the guest appearance of the sun distract you from today’s deadline for applying to join a City Commission, Committee, or Board. If you want to make a difference in your town, the General Plan Advisory Committee, Transit Committee, and several more bodies need mid-term replacements. The link to application information is provided below.
I remain available to exchange thoughts about this form of civic service.
Questions or comments? Let me know. – Dave Alden 707-338-8388
