Meet with the Mayor Fridays

Dear Friends,

We are experiencing most likely the last wave of warm weather for this year. It won't be long before the rain and cooler winter days are upon us. Rather than "hibernating" or becoming less active during these months, I want to suggest we come together collectively linking hearts and minds for a better, a more peaceful, a greener and cleaner, and a more joyful City!

With that in mind, I have begun holding an open meeting every Friday evening.

Please join me on Meet with the Mayor Fridays.

When: Every Friday from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm
Where:Whittlesey Community Room (next to the main library)
325 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond

These meetings give me the opportunity to hear from all of you -- your ideas, your concerns, and your aspirations! I want to hear from everyone who attends so there will be an opportunity to sign up to speak with a limited time to share ideas or ask questions. Not all questions will be able to be answered on the spot; some will likely require followup.

These meetings can also be an opportunity for all of us to build on our social interactions with one another. Let us take every opportunity we can to grow together!

Sincerely,
Mayor Gayle McLaughlin

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
