The next general membership meeting is this coming Sunday, April 7, 2013, at the Laughing Buddha from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. While we have a few agenda items, the main topic will be the Elgin Greenway Project. We need to prepare our vision and recommendations and submit them next week so they can be considered.
