We're going to donate the money saved by not eating out to a food bank.   Please bring a dish to share and maybe something to drink  . . . and a little money or maybe some canned goods if you'd like to and are able to donate to a cause (which one, we'll have to talk about) that helps fo...

We have had changes in two of the council members since then, and I know the City can handle one more. There have not been a substantial incre...
