The City of Walnut Creek is bringing back a popular initiative this Fall: the Citizens Institute. I learned a lot about the city when I did it. Participants in the Institute can learn about city operations, tour facilities not often open to the public, and meet City Council Members and key staff.
Applications are being taken through September 20 and the first session will take place on October 8. There is a City Council meet-and-greet TOMORROW (Sept. 11) at my house in Parkmead. My address is 190 Arlene Drive. Please be sure to come by and take advantage of this opportunity. See more below.
Sessions will take place:
- Tuesday, October 8
- Saturday, October 19
- Tuesday, October 22
- Tuesday, October 29
- Wednesday, November 6
- Wednesday, November 20
Anyone who lives or works in Walnut Creek and has an interest in local government is invited to sign up for the Institute. Each class is designed for 25-30 students to encourage discussion, involvement, and interaction.
