SW Cape Coral Neighborhood Assoc.
Due to a scheduling conflict, the mayor-elect will be unable to attend our meeting this month. Instead, we will have the newly-elected Council Member from District 1, Marty McClain, as our speaker. Topic will be the mayor’s vision for our city. The meeting will be held on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Oasis Charter Middle School in the cafeteria.
If anyone has a question for the mayor, write it on a 3×5 card prior to arriving at the meeting and hand it to Marilyn Stout, vice president, before the start of the meeting.
Meetings are open to everyone. Please invite any and all neighbors who might be interested in listening to our guest speaker(s) or anyone interested in any topic related to the betterment of our city.
