“Ask the GM” Postponed Until February 2nd

Hi Folks,

We’ve had a very eventful couple of weeks to start the new year. Giving attention to some critical issues has short-changing my ability to provide the robust “Ask the GM” that I’m committed to providing, and which SV residents deserve. To better provide the Q&A you want, I’m delaying the initial “Ask the GM” until the one already scheduled for February 2nd at 7-8PM. I’m also adding a follow-up on February 10th from 3-4PM to accommodate those unable to participate on February 2nd.

Thanks for your patience. I look forward to our conversations!
