Dear
John,
Spring is around the corner with the
nice weather we had last weekend. We're busy
designing Space Park and there's still time to
submit your design proposals! Because we were
unable to combine the CAPS meeting with our Triangle
Neighbor's meeting (as previously
announced), everyone will have until the Space Park
clean-up on May 5th to get their proposals in to us.
There are a lot of neighborhood events coming
up. This Saturday is the Health Fair in the morning (free blood
pressure and cholesterol screenings) and
Inter-American's Fiesta Cultural in the afternoon.
We hope you can join us at all four events on the
Triangle Calendar. The CAPS meeting (on May 2nd),
the Spring Clean & Green (on May 5th), our Triangle
Neighbor's Meeting on May 9th (usual day/time), and the
LVCC Annual Meeting at Sidetrack (on May
15th).
