THE RESIDENTS OF MISSION BEACH NEED A VOICE DOWNTOWN. OUR ANSWER HAS BEEN TO DEVELOP A MISSION BEACH RESIDENTS GROUP. ONLY RESIDENTS OF MISSION BEACH WOULD BE ABLE TO JOIN THIS GROUP. BUT, IN PART BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS, THIS HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO KICK OFF.

SO, ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE FOR MISSION BEACH RESIDENTS TO JOIN THE PBTC. GOD KNOWS THEY ARE FAR MORE SYMPATHETIC TO OUR MISSION BEACH RESIDENTS THAN ARE THE MAJORITY OF THE MBTC BOARD. I PLAN TO JOIN THE PBTC AND WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.
