Here's an excerpt from the announcement for a special town hall meeting tomorrow:

"Homelessness and mental illness in Butte County will be addressed at a special campus and community town hall meeting Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium at California State University, Chico.

The town hall meeting will be from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Everyone in attendance will have an opportunity to actively participate in discussions and problem-solving. The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.

Participants will include city and university leaders, providers of services to the homeless and mentally ill, and residents who are or who have been homeless and/or mentally ill."

I plan to be at the event and invite those who are interested in these issues in our community to come, too.
