FYI I’ve reached out to Shelley and Bill. I have heard nothing. I have still not heard anything about the Charter.

May I ask *who* cancelled the meeting?

[Starduster]

Sorry (NOT sorry)- I’m pissed. Has the existing committee been fired? And does he *have* that authority?

[Starduster]

From Schwartz’s letter: “… eleven members are not representatives of an organization or civic association.” Is being the representative of a local business (Papillon Cycles) *not* adequate? If it is not, then I’m not sure I want to be a part of *his* committee.

I would email Shelley and Bill to ask who and why. They have not responded to me

The weather outside is… Potentially frightful.*

As of now, I’m planning on being at the Church tonight, and we’re adding a call-in for those who would like to attend via phone.

Call-in number:*(515) 604-9713

Conference code: 341301

If the in-person option is cancelled, we’ll let you know.
