Please join me for our next 2nd Ward meeting on Thursday, May 12, 7 p.m., at the J.E.H. Education Center, 1500 McDaniel Ave. Ward meetings are your opportunity to share concerns and discuss issues that impact our ward and the greater community.
We have a lot going on in our 2nd Ward this month. Please share this information!
