Due to the ongoing water situation in the City of Carlisle, we have postponed our meeting so our members and neighbors can focus on making the necessary arrangements for their homes and families.
We know this situation is creating added stress and concern for many in our community. Our thoughts are with everyone affected, and we sincerely hope for a safe and speedy resolution for the City of Carlisle and all of its residents
