Dear WISPPA members,
We hope you are safe and well!
Last week, there was a city council on May 6. Click here to see the video of the meeting. For a summary of the meeting in the South Pasadenan, click here.
There are new letters on our website called Opinion Page, both of which addressed issues before the City Council last week. Please let us know if you are concerned about an issue and/or have an opinion about something happening in our city. You can just write us directly at wissporg@gmail.com or copy WISPPA when you write the city or media. This is especially important now since we are not sharing our thoughts at meetings during this time of social distancing. WE NEED TO STAY CONNECTED!
