Just a quick update:

There is a candidate forum at the Jackson-Mann community center on Tuesday, August 6th. The meet and greet starts at 6 O'clock, and the official forum begins at 7. I hope to see a great turnout!

I'd also like to remind everyone that the U.S. Air Force Liberty Band is performing on Thursday, August 9th at Chandler's Pond. The concert begins at 7:00 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community. I know it will be a great show and a great time.
