Hi everyone!
I have one update, one correction, and one clarification to make to this list (below).
1. Santa Rosa Storage Oct. 16th meeting will take place in City Council Chambers at 5 PM. (update regarding time)
2. The Community Meeting in Guerneville on the Biological Opinion is on Thursday, Nov. 6th (NOT Nov. 13th)……(correction)
3. The meeting on Nov. 5th at Villa Chanticleer is of course in Healdsburg (clarification)
Please note these in your calendars.
