Chairman Mendelson’s Regular May ‘Meet Up’ Rescheduled

I sincerely apologize to the residents who came out this past weekend for the originally scheduled “Meet Up” at Starbucks Tenleytown.  The “Meet Up” had been postponed due to a scheduling conflict. Unfortunately, we did not send notice of this to all the channels we initially used to announce the original “Meet Up.”  I am  deeply sorry and take responsibility for this oversight.  I know your time is valuable and I understand how important it is that all District residents’ voice be heard.

 The “Meet Up”  has been rescheduled to May 21, 2016 at 10:30am at the Starbucks Tenleytown.  If you have any concerns you would like to address prior to that time, please contact Brenda McDuffie or Brittany Hughes at 202.724.8032.  I hope to see you on the 21st!
