I had my first Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture Board meeting this week.  It’s one of the new committees I’m assigned this year; the other is Yuba Sutter Transit.  There are several other meetings on my calendar, including setting the agenda for the next board of supervisors meeting, discussing the Plumas Lake interchange project with Hard Rock, a webinar from RCRC on navigating the congressionally directed spending process to secure funding for rural counties, a meeting with some leaders from Peach Tree Golf Country Club, and a California Arts Council meeting hosted by Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture.

I attended a reception for the California Arts Council at Yuba Suter Arts and the PLESD Public Input Session at Rio Del Oro on Thursday at 6 pm.  You can read my summary and a few comments about the PLESD meeting here.
