Hot Off the (Virtual) Press: February 2010 Reporter is ready for download

As a new feature, we will be broadcasting a link to download a digital copy of the current month's Rolando Park Reporter as soon as it's ready, which means you can read it before it's ever printed and distributed throughout the neighborhood. You'll have more time to mark your calendar with important community events...such as our monthly meeting (hint hint.)

Also, please forward this link to anyone you think may be interested in Rolando Park news:
