In order to prevent the numerous cancellations we have had in the past, we have secured a new meeting location. We will continue to meet on the first Wednesday each month, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Starting with the December 3rd meeting, we will assemble at the Glen Carbon Public Safety Facility. The building is located next to the Community Center directly behind the Glen Carbon Village Hall.
The December 3rd agenda includes an update on the Village V street issue, a review of last week's candidate training and any new business. It is not too late to get on the ballot for the Spring 2009 elections. Anyone interested in running for public office in Glen Carbon, Edwardsville and the surrounding area is encouraged to attend our December meeting for more information.
Please contact us directly at GlenEdCitizens@gmail.com with any questions.
