UPDATED: Councilor Davis inadvertently omitted from Ward 1 meet-and-greet notice?

Councilors Ashley Davis and Elton Armady
surveyed storm damage in June while everyone
else (except Councilor Storch) was in Hawaii.

UPDATED, 9:30 AM. An email from Robert K. Graham ("Mr. Plainfield"), who is organizing a First Ward meet-and-greet seems to have inadvertently left off the name of First Ward Councilor Ashley Davis.

The event is billed as an opportunity for "Mayor Mapp, city leaders, and stakeholders" to meet First Ward residents. While the Ward's district leaders are mentioned, its Council representative is not.

I am sure it is an oversight, as Ms. Davis -- who is closing out the first year of her term and is making her mark -- was the candidate of a process 100% controlled by Chairman Mapp.

Councilors Goode and Armady, who also represent the First Ward, were also omitted. Truly, an oddly phrased announcement.

Originally scheduled for Wednesday, October 30 (the night of the League of Women Voters candidate forum, in which Chairman Mapp has a Board of Ed slate), it was suddenly switched to Tuesday, October 29.

I suspect Chairman Mapp or Mr. Graham got a phone call from LWV president Timothy Priano about the conflict.

The event is from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, at Adrian's Catering, 1108 East 2nd Street (corner of Netherwood Avenue).

The invitation says the meeting "will be focused on ... learning about resident's [sic] concerns, informing ... how to get involved in affairs of the city," and ask questions. And of course, there will be delicious food!

The focus is the First Ward, but all are invited (I got an invite). However, be nice -- to help judge how much food to prepare, please register for the event here.

(I was startled to see the online invite says the event is in "partnership with the City of Plainfield". I never understood that Democratic Party business and City business could be mixed in the same event in NJ. And certainly that City monies could not be used to pay for a Democratic Party event. Have I missed something?)

For more information, call organizer Robert K. Graham at (908) 342-1125.
