White Hen meeting Monday


Published: November 20, 2009

To the editor:

I am writing to let the community know that those of us active in the effort to save the White Hen Pantry on Pond Street have organized another open meeting. This second meeting will take place on Monday, Nov. 23, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the public library. Invitations to attend have been extended to Mr. Karp, the Lagasses and the CVS Corporation, and as of now, a representative from Mr. Karp's office has pledged to be there. It is our sincere hope that the Lagasses and a representative for CVS will also attend.

In all the months that I've involved myself in this issue, not one person has come to me and expressed support for the White Hen leaving in favor of a bigger CVS. I think most of us want to do all we can to protect against the over-development of our beautiful city. Now is the time to make your voice politely heard.
