So many meetings in the Valley!

Here's some great meetings in the Valley that are one-of-a-kinders and not your run-of-the-mill monthly Neighborhood Council meetings. (Why are there always so many things happening in the Valley?) There sure is a lot in which to get involved! There are a few tonight on gangs and safety at Grant High School, but it's too late to post those - check out: www.greatervalleyglencouncil.org for info on them if you want.

So, like Zach said: Get involved!
