NEXT MEMBERSHIP MEETING: 6:30 PM TUESDAY, MAY 19:
City People holds a membership meeting and social gathering on the third Monday of each month. The May meeting will take place at Calhoun's on the River - Deck on May 19th at 6:45 p.m. *Please note the new start time, which will allow Board members to arrive at the event in time to greet members. Calhoun's deck is a favorite spot to sit and enjoy the river and the spring weather. Outdoor food service is provided on the deck, which goes well with their microbrewed selection of beers. In the event of rain, we will move in to the adjacent bar area indoors.
The membership meeting follows the City People Board of Directors, which meets just prior to the membership meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the Boardroom of The Phoenix Building on Gay Street. The Phoenix Building is just north of Downtown Grill and Brewery and houses Prestige Cleaners and The Downtown Grind Coffee Shop. Members are always welcome to observe Board meetings!
Future City People Membership Meetings will be on June 16th at Mirage on Gay St. at 6:45 p.m.; and July 21st at Ruth's Chris Steak House on Volunteer Landing. Please mark your calendars now!
The Events page always lists upcoming City People meeting dates, times, and locations.
