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
