<div>Dear friends and neighbors,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On Tuesday May 1 at 7:30 there will be a reception at Town Hall for Doug Duncan the newly appointed University of Maryland Vice President for Administrative Affairs. Among the matters that he will have charge over is Facilities Management and therefore control over the Old Air Coup/NOAA facility, the 4 new buildings that are already slated for construction north of River Road, and substantial other property holdings. Because of its ambitious plans for the M Square Enterprise Campus the University is an increasingly important stake holder in our community.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is important that the Town welcome Doug and take the earliest opportunity to foster the same good relations we had with his predecessor John Porcari (now Maryland Secretary of Transportation). Please come out and join me in showing him the warm hospitality of our town, and find out a bit about his view of the university's future.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Vern</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-- <br>Vernon Archer, Mayor<br>Town of Riverdale Park, Maryland </div>
