CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Just a reminder that we have scheduled a visit to the Pasco City Council Meeting at 7:00 pm on Monday, October 3, 2011 at City Hall (525 North Third Avenue). The Agenda is very light (typical leading into an election), so they will not be wading through too much muck before we get to item 5 (Visitors - Other than Agenda Items - more typically called public comments). This is the point where we should be able to bring up our concerns.

Remember, NO SIGNS or anything that will give them the opportunity to shut us down. We want to appear as the professional and organized group that we are. We are there to convey a message, not disrupt. The larger the crowd, the larger the message, so please plan on attending. You can watch yourself on TV or the internet the next day.

Thank you very much for your efforts in preserving our lifestyle!
