Please see below for information regarding a May
20 town hall meeting in Black Mountain to get community input on tourism
issues.  Although the invitation is addressed to Black Mountain
officials, the meeting is open to the public and input is sought from the whole
Swannanoa Valley area.

Mayor &
Board/Chamber/BMMA/CEC/Town Staff:

I assume you have received or
will receive invitations directly from Buncombe County TDA regarding this
Tourism Town Hall meeting scheduled for May 20 in Black Mountain.  In the
event you have not, please forward a copy of this email to your boards and
committees, so that we might have good representation and input from the eastern
part of the county with regard to tourism development.  If you know of
other individuals or organizations to whom this notice should be sent, please
let me know and I will be sure to forward it accordingly.
