Friday, Feb. 1 -- Message from Dr. Shamlin regarding potential future meeting

DPW-Director Newkirk returned my call very late today concerning the requested meeting for Sat. at 3pm at the General Assembly Church of B.R. with the CSRS and him. Earlier, Michael Songy, CSRS had suggested that we cancel the meeting for the time being. Mr. Newkirk concurred, but quickly offered to meet with us as a small group in the near future. He had recieved a copy of the questions our most efficient and effective Association's secretary Ms. Pam Labbe had compiled and recorded in our last set of minutes. I had shared these with Brad Ponder-CSRS last nite who then forward them to him. Mr. Newkirk thought they all were excellent and reasonable questions & could be addressed to our satisfaction. He further suggested we compile additional ones & forward to him before meeting CSRS and him in a small group in the very near future. But, before this occurs, I would like to request in writing an official copy of the plans for Staring Lane's extension & expansion from CSRS(tomorrow). Once received, I will call an association and other support groups and persons' meeting to let you select several to attend this meeting with city officials and CSRS representatives. I would like to thank all who attended last nite's meeting and especially a whole hearted thanks to Brother Brown and the staff of the General Assembly Church of B.R. who accommodated the group and had planned to accommodate our cancelled meeting for Saturday 2/2/08 at 3pm. May God continue to bless you and we pray that His will be done. Shamlin
