Please join me this coming Tuesday for our first SCOPE Committee meeting.

We are looking to redesign the pergola area, as well as work with State Senator Hertzberg’s Office to give Neighborhood Councils legislative authority.

We will be at the Van Nuys Library from 5:30pm to 6:30pm.  Please enter and exit through the front door, as the back door needs to remain closed for security reasons.

Cheers, see you Tuesday evening.

-George Christopher Thomas, Chairman of the SCOPE Committee
