What happened at the April meeting?  Among other things, there was a discussion of St. Alphonsus’ plans for Octoberfest, including closing Southport Ave. We could tell you more, but you’d do better to read the May newsletter.  Newsletter Correction:  The number you call to stop deliver of RedPlum is incorrect in the newsletter.  The correct number for the Chicago Tribune is  1-800-TRIBUNE (1-800-874-2863).
