Dear PSNA Members and neighborhood Friends, At 7 pm we will welcome Scott Walker, Planning Data Analyst with Cambridge Community Development Department (CDD) to discuss the data available, from the City and publicly, how it is used, and how we can find it, use it. Bring your questions, so we can do some live lookups/analysis. All are welcome! At 8:30, we will hold our delayed (from November) election of officers. Please join us then. Dues paid members who have attended most of our meetings should be to vote. Susan has been keeping track and will be in contact in an effort to make sure we will have a quorum. The current officers, me (President), Susan Hunziker (Vice President/Secretary) and Margaret Studier (Treasurer), have all agreed to serve another term, but all of us would welcome new officer candidates, so please think about it. I will send out the Zoom link early next week. We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year! Ruth -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com
