Hillyard Industrial Park meeting
Friday, May 13th at 10:00am. at Beacon Hill Events Center at 4848 E. Wellesley.  The HIP still needs your input; this thing is by no means done. Funds need to be raised and decisions still need to be made for the video and that’s just the beginning. We would love to have any and all interested to attend. We will be hearing presentations from production companies and discussing the progress of the fund raising.  For more info contact Luke Tolley.
