Matthew Hudson, president of the Fort Worth League of Neighborhoods, sends along this e-mail about an October 23 meeting:

Now that urban gas drilling has been a reality in our city for some time, what are the people saying who agreed in the first phases and currently have drilling underway in their neighborhood?

• Are they happy?
• Would they have made the same decision?
• What has the real impact on the neighborhood been?
• Have the lease payments been worth it?

This event is designed to give you a balanced view of this issue and even provide you with a PowerPoint presentation you can take back to use in your neighborhood meetings.
This presentation will aid you in helping guide your NA or HOA in making the right decision for your neighborhood.
We will have industry experts, neighborhood leaders and evenCity Council members presenting - so you will not want to miss this one.
While this event is focused on the NA and HOA presidents, all are welcome.
So, don’t sign that lease just yet - you may want to know the rest of the story first!

The meeting is at 6:30 p.m., October 23 at University Christian Church, Room 211.
