Hello Aleppo Residents and Friends –
We had an Aleppo Legislative Meeting on Monday night, October 16, 2023, and I wanted to tell you what happened. The meeting was held at Masonic Village in an effort to reach Aleppo residents who might not otherwise be able to attend a meeting in person. (The November 13th Workshop Meeting will be held at the Township Building, but the November 20th Legislative Meeting will be held out in the community at the Aleppo Fire Station.)
