From Your Councilmember

I want to encourage you to attend the Town Hall meeting on Monday, May 13. The city plans to discuss the future of the open space portion of Glen Lakes Golf Course. Please bring your ideas. The meeting will take place at Glendale American Elementary School, located at 8530 N. 55^th Ave and is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. If you are unable to attend, there are other options for you to participate in the discussion. Please find additional information on the left side of my newsletter.

Warm weather has arrived, making it the perfect time for frozen yogurt! Join Friends of the Glendale Public Library, a non-profit, grassroots membership group dedicated to promoting Glendale's library system , next Thursday, May 9, at Yogurtini, located at 5870 W. Thunderbird Rd., Ste. A3, from 6-9 p.m. This fundraiser will benefit the group's efforts to advocate, educate, and raise funds on behalf of Glendale Public Library and its patrons.

Recycling Tip...Caps On!
