Hi Collette & Jennifer -
As another follow-up to our meeting in April…
I’d like to invite you to come out and experience
The Downtown Los Altos First Friday
Year-round music festival first hand.
I have been co-chair of this event for the past 13 years.
The event t draws from all over the Bay Area and attracts
Over 1,000 people!
This event features 15 bands (see link below)!
The event I propose for Menlo Park would have 5-9
Bands/groups with some performing inside businesses
to help create economic vitality.
I have the experience to produce a
successful event In Menlo Park and shift away
from the the downtown being known as “menlo dark”.
If you plan to come out to Downtown Los Altos First Friday
this week Please let me k is so I can meet up with you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes always, Carol

Hi Carol,
Yes, we are still scheduled to meet. However, both Jennifer (copied here) and I have to meet virtual. Would you still like to meet online, or wait until in person? I am out at a conference so it would have to be sometime next week for an in-person meeting.
Thank you,
Collette
