Another Late Announcement by Joe Moore

"We want your input tomorrow night," starts the email that was sent out TODAY by Chicago's 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore. Does this guy not have a clue that most of us need a little more than a day's notice to plan to attend a meeting "tomorrow night?" Most recipients of the email will not have seen it until this evening (Monday, August 20). That's short notice. Now consider the thousands of 49ers who will not get that email, and will not know about the meeting. (Details below!) What's that, you say? You think Joe Moore wants it that way? That he wants as few people to know about this as possible because it's just a sham anyway? You say that by sending out this last minute email he can "honestly" say that he notified the community? Hmmm. You may have a point.... Dear Neighbor, As you know, the Gale Park Community Center at Howard Street and Marshfield Avenue is nearing completion. I am told by the contractor and the Public Building Commission that the building should be ready for its Grand Opening early next year! The Gale Park Community Center will be a Chicago Park District facility, and the North of Howard Parks Advisory Council is currently working with the Park District to decide what programs will be offered at the center. What would you like to see offered at the Community Center? Basketball? Arts and crafts? Dance classes? Senior citizen programs? A summer youth camp? Please join me and your neighbors in helping to plan the future of our new community center at the next meeting of the North of Howard Parks Advisory Council! Tuesday, August 21st 7:00 p.m. Howard Area Community Center 7648 N. Paulina Street I hope to see you there! Sincerely, Joe Moore
