The Next ANC Meeting is This Tuesday

The next monthly Advisory Neighborhood Commission meeting (ANC 5C) is in three days:

Tuesday, September 19th
7 - 9 p.m.
Harry Thomas Recreation Center
1743 Lincoln Road N.E.

And when was this meeting announced? Yesterday, through two Internet listservs. The official ANC website still has not been updated at this writing.

Call me a stickler, but announcing a public governmental meeting four days before it is set to occur is not acceptable. This is, of course, not the incumbent 5C02 commissioner's fault alone. I wonder how well the other commissioners are advertising this meeting.

At best, 20 percent of constitutents are aware of this meeting. If elected, I will do my best to inform all citizens, regardless of their computer access (and by extension, their income level). This is the most basic duty of the ANC commissioners.
