RE: Cancellation of November meeting

CANCELLATION — The City of Reno's Citizens Cable Compliance Committee monthly meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at Reno City Hall, has been canceled due to the illness of one member, time conflicts of others, and the fact that we remain a member short. Any Reno resident wishing to serve may contact City Clerk Lynnette Jones at (775) 334-2030 for an application, or go to the city's website.

We will next meet on Tuesday, Dec. 16, at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at Reno City Hall. It will be cablecast live on SNCAT/Charter Cable Channel 13 in Reno-Sparks. The November agenda will carry over to December with some potential additions as indicated, below, and undoubtedly others by showtime.

My personal apologies for any inconvenience this last-minute notice may cause. Please consider signing up for our mailing list.

Happy Thanksgibleting.

Stay tuned and stay in touch.

Be well. Raise hell.
