Meet Mack Monday
Meet Mack Monday is designed to keep Newtown area residents informed, but equally importantly, to keep ME informed of residents' concerns.
Are you concerned about over development in Newtown, tax increases, traffic, quality of our roads, preserving open space or about any issue that has or will come before the Board of Supervisors (BOS) and other township boards and commissions?
Feel free to attend one of my Meet Mack Monday (MMM) events that I host periodically, usually the 2nd or 3rd Monday of the month before the first or second BOS meeting (refer to my Event Calendar for specific dates).
Use the registration form to see the agenda and to get the login information for the next meeting. You can also tell me what topics you'd like to include on the agenda. Even if you cannot attend, I will send you a summary of the meeting afterward.
