For those of you who follow all the happenings in our community, you should already know about this. We have a great event lined up tomorrow morning; and it's possible thanks to the collaboration of several wonderful people, including the Laveen Association of HOAs Retail Committee, the LCC, the SoMo-Laveen Chamber, Councilman Nowakowski's office, and of course Jenna Raskin-Moreines and her husband Michael, of Terrazona Properties. To steal Claudine's quote from the last LCC meeting, "You have to attend this event, or else you have no right to complain about what's going on around here."
It's been exhausting, but well worth it so far. If I didn't have the real life competition for using the phrase, I'd say this has been my baby for the last month or so (so in reality--I'm sure at the risk of offending someone--it's like I've had twins but only one real baby to show for it).
Now I'm just about able to proudly set this baby free...... Questions for panelists are done, all other arrangements have been made..... all that's left is the potential for putting out a couple of fires--fingers crossed that it won't be necessary...... But enough about that. Here's the email that just came out from the LCC (quite similar to the one I sent out earlier in the week, and the Chamber sent afterward):

Thank you so much for this blog! Through your blog, I found out about the meeting today. My husband, my daughter and I went and it was very informative and I really enjoyed it. Thanks again for all of the great info and congratulations on your new baby!

Fantastic! I'm happy you made it out, along with about 60-70 other concerned residents. Another note: apparently, we're either a health conscious group that doesn't care for things like donuts and muffins (we had a lot left over), or we just don't like having heavy pastries for breakfast when it's 90 degrees. There was also quite a bit of coffee left over. But enough griping. I thought it was a great event and now feel even more validated in hearing it from someone else. Thank you. And I promise, next time we won't do it outside when it's so hot.
