It is hard to believe that we are approaching the end of June! I know my children are really enjoying summer and I hope yours are also. By the time most of you read this agenda, the run-off election will be done with and you will have elected two new Council Members. I will send an update late Saturday evening or Early Sunday morning with the results of the election. I apologize for sending three e-mails so close together, but sometimes it happens!
Just a reminder, June is turning out to be a great family month in Frisco. Frisco Grooves and Movies in the Square are still taking place every Friday night. These are both great events for the family and not to be missed (and, FREE to boot!).
This Meeting will be my last meeting and I will only attend the beginning. We will quickly canvass the election and the new Council Members will take their place!
I hope everyone enjoys their summer and I am looking forward to hearing your comments!
The Community Calendar is now fully operational! You can view it on my web site or directly at the calendar web site. You can also make your own additions (subject to review), so if you know of any community events, feel free to add them!
