The White Pine Community Forum is much like a town hall meeting where everybody in the community is invited to attend, voice their opinions, and hear the responses from public figures or liaisons from local advisory boards and elected officials about shared subjects of interest. The Forum meetings will be held to give the community a chance to feel that their voices, opinions, concerns, and suggestions are being heard and to ensure community members feel informed of current events in that affect our area. The members of the Forum are all volunteers who rely on the generous donations from local businesses, agencies, and community members. A large percentage of the population feel as if they don’t now what’s going on in local government when it is the City and County decisions that directly affect our way of life the most. The members of the Forum are excited for White Pine County to begin to experience the benefits of a community that is involved and works together to better itself. The White Pine Community Forum will hold their first meeting on July 5th, 2011 with the topic being the Community Swimming Pool. Members of the Pool Committee, as well as board and council members from local government will be invited to attend.
Thank you.
