Want to learn more about the Aquidneck Island Planning Commission (and maybe think about volunteering to be considered as a town representative?)

There will be a reception May 8th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Marriott Courtyard, Gate 17 Access Road, Middletown to acquaint the public with the AIPC's regional planning work and to discuss new board members.

Each community's Town Council will soon be appointing four new volunteer directors to the AIPC. This informal event will be an opportunity to learn more about AIPC and the need for individuals with experience in law, finance, professional planning, nonprofit grant writing, architecture, and related fields.

For more information, contact AIPC at 845-9299 or email tina@aquidneckplanning.org. Or visit them on the Web at aquidneckplanning.org
