CoffeeTalk with Commissioner Pete Weldon

CoffeeTalk featuring Commissioner Weldon will be held Thursday, Oct. 20, at 8 a.m., at the Winter Park Welcome Center located at 151 W. Lyman Ave. Now in its 11th season, CoffeeTalk has become the place for citizens that have “a latte beans to grind” or simply to “espresso their thoughts.” The purpose of CoffeeTalk is to give citizens the opportunity to talk to their city leaders in a more casual, informal environment, and avoid the stage fright that is often experienced at large meetings. Please make plans to join Commissioner Weldon for a cup of conversation and great coffee provided by Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen.
