We know it’s a holiday and not everyone will be around, but if you are,PLEASE COME AND SHOW COUNCIL WE CARE!
You don’t need to be an expert and you don’t have to speak; We just need to show that lots of us want to be given sufficient time to consider possible futures for this unique heritage landmark building.
Preliminary Organizational Meeting Thursday evening (Tomorrow,Thurs.June 26 at Living Rooms, 12 Cataraqui St.) to discuss:
1) Business/tax revenue potential of this building.
2) Helping with renovation. Willing volunteers and tradespeople to see what needs to be done and-or help with renovation.
3) Interested in being part of a coop to renovate or inhabit the building?
4) How do we engage more people in this cause?
To win the Monday night vote, we need to work smart, hard and fast –come and help if you can.
On Thursday evening BRING A BROOM! (Preferably an old one you don’t need any more). Don’t ask why! We have a plan!
And, if you have not yet written to the mayor and Council and Commissioners and Gerard Hunt, the CEO please do so beforeMonday. It`s OK if the letter is short.
