CANA's Annual Budget Review Project

As you are aware, we are preparing to begin our Council's annual review of the City of Albany's proposed budget.
I know you are all busy but I would ask each NA to identify one person in your neighborhood who'd be willing to get together with me and interested others two or three times to consider this information. They need not know anything about the process-they can learn with us. Any small piece of work will help the whole. I hope we can use e-mail extensively, but will be happy to accomodate those who don't use it. I promise to make good use of busy people's time.

Please have neighbors be in touch with me:
e-mail; maxDANYS@aol.com
phone; 459-3019
preferably prior to our October CANA meeting.

Council of Albany Neighborhood Associations
Is anyone interested in representing DANA in this group?
Thanks very much.
