“I’ve done my best, my utmost, to make it as cost-effective an event as possible while still maintaining a specialness factor. For some of these folks, this is a big event.”

Hillcrest residents’ holiday party Tuesday 7pm

This month’s Hillcrest Town Council meeting will begin 30 minutes later than usual in December to allow the HBIA additional time for elections. (The business association’s meeting will run from 5-7pm.) Sweet treats will be provided by area restauranteurs for this evening to socialize, network and celebrate our 2008 accomplishments. Invite you neighbors to attend next Tuesday’s gathering as two years of community input on HTC bylaws will be finalized by residents. Join friends and meet other Hillcrest residents as we celebrate the holiday season.

Most of the evening will be spent spreading peace and joy among each other. In addition, the group will discuss the newly created bylaws. This will be your opportunity to radify the HTC’s organizational structure. The town council meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the Joyce Beers Community Center in the Uptown Shopping District (Vermont north of Cleveland).
