Friends community meeting July 11, glamping responses, finance committee Aug 17:

Friends community meeting: We have scheduled our next Friends community meeting for Saturday July 11 at 10:00AM near Shed 4 (and virtually at https://meet.google.com/get-fnmk-foi). As always, you can find our meeting times and other events at http://calendar.friendsmagens.org/. Please spread the word.

Finance committee: MBA is currently scheduled to testify before the Senate Finance committee on Monday August 17 at 10:00AM. Past testimony is archived on friendsmagens.org.

Glamping: There has been a large outcry on What’s Going On St Thomas in response to the proposal for glamping at Magens. Links to some of the threads:

• Tee Fee B (June 13)

• Sharon L (June 13)

• Marcus W (June 15)

• Anonymous (June 17)

• Marcus W (June 18)

• GraySeal (June 18)

If you have concerns about glamping at Magens, this would be a good time to let MBA, DPNR/CZM, and our aspiring elected officials know. For reference, you can find the Magens Bay deed and restrictions here, There is also a group organizing against the same developer’s already-approved proposal for glamping at Neltjeberg: fb post linking to public opinion form and change.org petition.
