Our regularly scheduled General Membership Meeting on February 11 2014 will coincide with the Neighbor Support Night co-sponsored by the Council and the City of Fort Lauderdale. Your members (yes invite them all to come) can meet face to face with the City Staff from various Departments (think Code Enforcement and Buildings Department). The event starts at 6:00 PM and runs till 8:30 PM and takes place in different places at City Hall. Parking will be tight so car pooling is advised. You can come at any time, have a bite to eat and bring your most pressing issue to the people who are responsible.
