🗣️☕ Join us for the last Coffee and Conversation of the year!
Dear Neighbor,
You're invited to join 30th Ward Alderwoman Ruth Cruz and me for a morning of coffee and community conversation! We’re hosting one last Coffee and Conversation event this year, and we hope you’ll join us for the chance to discuss issues that are important to you.
We’ll be gathering at El Capitan Snacks & Coffee, 3150 N Central Ave. on Saturday, November 22, from 10am to 12pm. And we’ll be talking about recent updates from the fall veto session, questions you may have about the city budget, and other important community concerns. Your input helps shape our priorities and ensures your voice is heard, so hope to see you then!
All my best,
Will
