ARCHIVE - ISSUES POSTED FROM DEC. '07
The J-6/Mescal Community Development Organization published the first Issue of the Tri-Community Newsletter in February 2005. Over time with support of the business community, the newsletter grew from eight pages to monthly publications that were twelve to fourteen pages in length.
Newsletters have provided the neighborhoods with the latest on hot issues, providing information so that residents and property owners could make informed decisions and provide their input to government officials in a timely manner.
Past newsletters historically record the efforts of our communities to preserve our uniqeness and rural quality of life. Therefore, we are archiving the Dec. 2007 Newsletter and subsequent publications for your convenience. Click on the date of the desired pdf newsletter.
