[Summit] Fourteen Days in May & April -- corrected, updated and slightly-expanded calendar of books, events, meetings & movies

Wed Apr 26 05:44:32 UTC 2017

Principal changes: I’ve added agendas for the Fox Point and Summit general membership meetings, plus an explanatory announcement of next Tuesday’s recall election for City Councilman Kevin Jackson (Third Ward).
I also added a May 3rd meeting of West Broadway’s Cranston St. Armory Advocacy Committee and a May 9th meeting of the Waterman St. Dog Park committee, plus free Brown University concerts on May 5th and 9th.

Unless otherwise noted, almost every event is open to the general public free of charge.
