Colleagues,  On behalf of The Convening Steering Committee, we look forward to welcoming you tomorrow for what promises to be a rich start to our five-part series.  I am thrilled to announce that Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie and At-Large Councilmember Robert White have confirmed that they will join us for a portion of tomorrow's event. We hope to see you for a 7:00pm start! Food and beverages will be provided to guests, so no need to worry about making dinner plans. Also, ample street parking should be available around Dunbar High School for the duration of the event.  It is not too late to RSVP; share the registration link with your networks:
