Northeast EPIC Community Stakeholders Meeting Update

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
Stakeholders,

I received a confirmation today from the Mayor’s office that he will be attending our meeting this Thursday.  As we had originally planned, the meeting with the Mayor will be held at Aria Health’s Frankford Campus, 4900 Frankford Avenue (between Wakeling and Harrison) from 5:30 – 7:30pm. I apologize for the last minute change of venue.
Please spread the word about the change of location to anyone who you think maybe attending this meeting.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. Curtesy of Aria Health we will be serving a stuffed beef entre with spinach and feta cheese and roasted vegetables; a salmon dish will also be provided as an alternative to the beef.  Desert will also be included.
Thanks,
Kimberly Washington, Esq.
Coordinator, Northeast EPIC
