Thank you for getting this going. I am looking forward to helping on this project. Let me know what I can do.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested. Should be available most of July. Please keep me informed.
ReplyDeleteLooks good so far. If the target audience is the mayors, be sure to hit up Wildomar's 2017 Mayor Tim Walker. Their schedules fill up fast, so the sooner you inquire, the more likely they'll be able to attend.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see this effort move forward. This is something we need, the technology exists, let's make it happen!
ReplyDeleteThank you for updating this event. It's on my calendar! Very excited to be part of this grassroots effort for something that is SO IMPORTANT!
