Please feel free to attend our next meeting, we look forward to working with everyone.

Nice Job Eric!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, it was kinda fun.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is beautiful. I don't remember who came up with the idea, but someone suggested that we think of a positive slogan/sign for our block (River West uses something about diversity). I would love to have this on the agenda for next meeting. We could put a few pennies together and have little signs made for each lawn - I'm thinking about themes of unity, diversity, etc.
