[Vision2020] The City This Week...An Occasional (very) Column about City of Moscow Activities

[Linda Pall]

Dear Visionaries,

I have been encouraged by the interesting exchanges about city activities on this listserve and the civil (generally) manner in which it has been conducted and want to put my semi-official toe in the water again.

I appreciated Bill London's original invitation to use this forum as a way to encourage people, involve people and generally communicate. I like that function of this listserve best. Thus, I will TRY to do at least one of these each month and if there is more that comes on our agenda that seems to merit additional encouragement outside the usual sources, I will try to do that.

Thank you all for you patience and I appreciate your care and concern for Moscow.

All the best,

Linda Pall
Moscow City COuncil
