What’s more, PBIA meetings are open to the public.  Generally comment is limited to the beginning of the meeting in order to respect the time of the 14 volunteers who are on the board.  Questions, comments and positive ideas are welcome.

With a tear in my eye do I have to tell you that Carlene is calling it quits.

Abstractions Gallery will close their doors at the end of August.

Thanks for being a great neighbor in downtown Carlene and Jeff!
