Hello again! Just a quick update; we have had questions from folks living outside the village who would like to attend the forum on 3/12. Please come! The PY firehall is clearly large enough to accommodate everyone. We don’t expect to have to turn anyone away. So if you are interested, there’s a seat for you. Thank you!
