Many of you may have attended one of my frequent "Meet with Marilyn" events that have been held at coffee shops, Heitzman Bakery, or even the new Northeast Regional Library over the last few years. Unfortunately, the pandemic has changed the way most of us conduct our daily lives and these community meetings are no different.
I have always enjoyed meeting with you face to face, listening to your concerns and talking about issues in our community. Until such a time when we can safely make this happen, I will be hosting these events virtually on a regular basis.
I will be hosting a virtual "Meet with Marilyn" on Thursday, July 16th from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
If you would like to attend, please email my office at Chris.Lewis@louisvilleky.gov to be added to the list of attendees.
I hope to see you there!
