Jan 30th, 2009 Hello, Submarine Committee, I'm contacting you on behalf of our chair
Anne Moore to set a meeting in the next few weeks. Anne
has suggested February 11, 13, 18 or 20. The meeting room
is not available on the 11th, so we are narrowing it to
February 13, 18 or 20 at noon in the 4th Floor Conference Room
at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. Please let me know by Monday, if
you have any preference on dates. We have a lot to discuss and
need as many members as possible to attend. Thanks, Renee Graham
