Dear Fellow Venice Stakeholders,
I would like to introduce myself and let you know that I will be taking over from Tom O'Meara the duties of Communications Officer for our neighborhood council. I will be sending out emails like this one from time to time to keep you up-to-date on the activities of the neighborhood council and to pass on general community wide announcements. Information for adding, changing or removing a subscription to the GRVNC mailing list can be found at the end of this email.
Notice of the first meeting of the new GRVNC board will be announced as soon as a date has been set. Meeting announcements will also be posted on the web site www.grvnc.org and at various official posting sites around town.
I look forward to serving our community and encourage you to email me at communications@grvnc.org with any suggestions for improving community outreach. Many thanks to Tom for helping with a smooth transition of duties and for his hard work over the last two years.
Best wishes,
-- Richard Myers, GRVNC Communications Officer (communications@grvnc.org)
