It's our last meeting of the year, so I hope many of you can join us to hear about our 2016 accomplishments. We'd also like to send a huge thank you to Lauren Rocereta, who's been an extremely proactive member of the steering committee for years. Her list of accomplishments is extensive, and her easygoing demeanor has represented our neighborhood well.
