Somerset reconstruction update:

Liaison with CBIA, PBIA – Eric meets periodically. Note CBIA is looking for office help, 2x a week, paid (about 8 hr / week). CBIA is looking to see if we want to be involved in a fundraising for the DCA at the proposed night market event, to be located on both sides of Empress at Somerset.
