Hi everyone,
Because of the impending birth of our twins (2 to 3 weeks), the meeting on 9/5 will be the last that I will host for the next couple of months. I will announce the acting chairperson in my absence at the meeting.
I am sending the outline for the Fall Block Party. Please take a look at it and try to make suggestions where necessary.
At the general meeting on Oct. 1, there will be subcommittee sign-up sheets for volunteers. Please tell your friends and neighbors.
I hope to see everyone next week.
Thanks,
Deb Roche
