7 Group Concerns:
a.) Joan T. brought us up to date on the Marana dump. We were all encouraged to
participate in the meeting on Tuesday at 7:00 PM. Gladys suggested that we form a carpool at 6:00
PM in the center parking lot. It would be nice if several people wearing their SCRCR shirts or ID
buttons were to show up in opposition to the dump.
b.) Mike told us about the Fox Theater free
show at 7:00 PM on Saturday the 14th.
c.) JoAnn told about another event at the same time: The band Bad News Blues is performing at the Crossroads park.
Take a folding chair if you want to attend.
