There is a problem with the time slot: Thursday, April 4, 2019 from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at Newton City Hall, Room 211
The Zoning and Planning Committee has a meeting scheduled in exactly the same slot:

Thanks…I’ll check on it!
We’re still on for Thursday–we’ll be in room 204, just across the hall. Guess we got bumped!
Thank you to all who joined…it was a small but intimate group. I wish all of you well, whether you run this year or some later year.
Thanks for all of your advice last night! It was a very informative session! I’m totally going to use the info David, Marcia, and Greg gave us.
This was a great event! Thank you so much to Marcia, Greg, David, and Sue for their great advice and for organizing this.
