Before I forget

This is sort of a little way off, but I told someone I'd mention it and so I'm just going to go ahead and do it, and probably (with a little luck) I'll mention it again.

The Coalition for Livable Communities will hold their Second Annual Summit for Neighborhood Leaders Saturday, June 28th, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The agenda includes workshops on "green building for everyone," "the city-suburb connection," and something that I think could be very important — "Planning Boards and Commissions: A Citizens Guide to Development Decisions."

From the agenda: "Ever wonder how to get the development "powers that be" to pay attention? This workshop breaks down the planning process and shows you how to make the system work for you."

And all without a big stack of dollar bills in a paper sack.

The event is free, but registration is required. To do so, contact sarah@livablememphis.org.
