Tonight, I met with Cuyahoga Falls City Council members Jeff Iula, Don Walters and Vince Rubino.

We have decided to start out by holding meetings in each of the city's eight wards. (Meeting dates, times and locations are being finalized.)

This is going to be a "POSITIVE" Community Initiative to help bring our neighborhoods together.

I am gathering information that will be passed out in the meetings.

We need to be the eyes and ears of our neighborhoods.

Please come with open ears and positive suggestions about what you would like to see happen in your neighborhood.
