Please note the following corrections to our August 8 email. 1. When we listed the candidates for City offices, we used an incorrect web address for Scott Lasher, who is running for City Council in District 4. His correct campaign website is at www.Time4Scott.org. 2. We listed an incorrect day of the week for the League of Women Voters Mayoral Candidate Forum. This is the correct information: Wednesday, August 27  (7:00–8:00 pm) — LWV Mayoral candidates: Ronald A. Beattie, Michael O'Connor. Evangelical Reformed Church of Christ Community Room, 15 West Church Street, Frederick, MD.   3. We listed incorrect deadlines for mail-in ballots.

CRG is a grassroots coalition of Frederick residents who prioritize responsible growth, expanding infrastructure, and a functional natural environment. We advocate for development that accommodates projected population increases while fostering a strong and diverse community fabric and increasing economic opportunities. Our comprehensive approach emphasizes public safety, traffic mitigation, increasing school capacity, and housing for all members of our community. Many Frederick residents want to know — but cannot find — information about how to participate in discussions of important local issues. The City and County generally hold meetings from 3–10 p.m., making it impossible for most of us to attend meetings or weigh in on issues of interest. Our mission with this monthly newsletter is to highlight City and County activities so you can learn more and, with your limited time, weigh in on areas of growth and development, City and County policies, and other local activities. Occasionally, opinions or longer stories will be offered by knowledgeable experts/readers. We welcome suggestions for articles focused on specific topics. Contact Kevin Sellner (kgsellner@gmail.com), Marge Rosensweig (marjorierosensweig@gmail.com), or Steve Jakubczyk (jakubczyksteven@gmail.com) for consideration of your issue.
