CoffeeTalk begins June 8
Initiated in 2005, CoffeeTalk has become the place to be for citizens who have “a latte beans to grind” or simply want 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.
Below is the schedule for the upcoming 2012 CoffeeTalk series:
• Friday, June 8 - Mayor Ken Bradley in conjunction with the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce’s Good Morning Winter Park
• Thursday, July 19 - City Manager Randy Knight
• Thursday, Aug. 16 - Vice Mayor Steven Leary
• Thursday, Sept. 27 - Commissioner Sarah Sprinkel
• Thursday, Oct. 18 - Commissioner Carolyn Cooper
• Thursday, Nov. 15 - Commissioner Tom McMacken
All CoffeeTalk sessions will be held at 8 a.m. at the Winter Park Welcome Center located at 151 W. Lyman Ave. Please mark your calendars for a cup of conversation and great coffee courtesy of Palmano’s Café, Coffee & Wine Bar.
