Please join us for this special event (more information will be provided later.)

At our last meeting, we agreed to consider hosting a fund-raising reception before the event, to raise money for our PAC, and David Kobierowski will be heading up that effort.

If you want to assist, please contact David at cleanair999 (at) yahoo.com.
