Montgomery County Council Vice President Roger Berliner to Host ‘Conversations With Your Councilmember’ on Wed., Sept. 16

District 1 Councilmember Will Discuss Issues and Take Questions In Informal Setting at Bethesda Regional Service Center

ROCKVILLE, Md., August 28, 2009—Montgomery County District 1 Councilmember Roger Berliner is inviting residents to join him at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the Bethesda Regional Services Center as a continuing part of his series of “Conversations With Councilmember Berliner.”

At the community meeting, Councilmember Berliner, whose district includes Bethesda, Cabin John, Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights, Garrett Park, Glen Echo, North Bethesda, Potomac, Randolph Hills and Somerset, will host informal discussions of issues of interest to local residents.

The Bethesda Regional Services Center is located at 4805 Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda.

“I enjoy these informal meetings with residents of District 1. There may not be a better setting for me to learn about concerns—and to be able to bring them up-to-date on issues before the County Council,” said Councilmember Berliner, who is a member of the Council’s Public Safety Committee and the Transportation, Infrastructure, Energy and Environment Committee, where he is the lead member for energy and the environment. “At the Bethesda Regional Services Center meeting, we will discuss local issues important to residents such as planning and zoning projects, traffic and transportation concerns and public safety. I hope neighbors will come ready to talk. I will be ready to listen and respond.”

For more information on the meeting, call 240-777-7828.
