Monthly Meeting

Hello All,

I wanted to invite you guys to our next MVNA meeting next Thursday night, September 30th 2010. This time, we'll be at Sam Muffoletto's house at 663 Arlington (yellow house on the corner of Oleander & Arlington, closer to Government). Sam has graciously offered his back yard, or front porch if it rains. We'll be starting up at 7pm.

I'm working on getting the guys from Radio Bar to stop by to give us a detailed description of their plans and let us know what kind of support they'll need from us at the Metro Council meeting on October 20th.

We'll also be discussing the Neighborhood Watch program and how we can all help Sheri get it off the ground.

BYOB if you'd like a drink and feel free to bring snack foods for us to munch on.

See you there!

Justin
