Jan and Frank met with the State and set a date of June 29 for our Town Meeting. We need you to sign up for the meeting as a Continental Breakfast and a lunch will be served. The state and the county are putting this meeting on try and help us fill in the cracks between the Water Board, Fire Board and FLOA. These three organizations cannot get everything done. The state and the county want to hear our suggestions. Jan is expecting close to 100 people to be at the meeting.
