City Candidate Forum in Glen Cove Park

The residents of Glen Cove will be hosting a forum for the candidates in the upcoming city council elections to introduce themselves and meet the residents of our neighborhood. This will be an informal gathering in our neighborhood park starting at 6:00 PM on Monday, March 9th. All currently announced council candidates have agreed to participate and hopefully all other candidates who may yet come forward will also do so. Each candidate will be given an equal opportunity to speak and to take questions from the residents and other candidates. We will also attempt to make a recording of the event available on the internet for all interested voters.

We held a similar forum last year which helped to considerably increase the voter participation from our neighborhood. Hopefully other neighborhoods will also have similar opportunities, but we would like to invited any interested residents from across the city to join us for this event and share in the opportunity to get to know more about the candidates before going to the polls. (It would help to have some idea of the level of participation to expect, so an indication of your intention to attend would be beneficial.)

The park is located at:
