INN Transition North AD HOC/Open Meeting
 
Thursday, January 14, 2010
7:00pm @ JLM Headquarters
 
 

Your input is requested on the future of JLM's flagship project - Inn Transition North. 

Miami-Dade County's second 10 year lease of the ITN buildings expires in November, 2010. Because JLM cannot continue to operate ITN at a financial loss each year, we are asking the County to consider a lease with amended terms meant to alleviate the financial burden JLM has shouldered.Over the past 6 years, JLM's annual budget for ITN programming and structural/maintenance has been supplemented by a restricted donation from the Browning Estate.  That restricted fund is largely depleted. 

In the event the County does not agree to the amended lease terms, we will need to decide what steps to take with the property. Please be part of the discussion of the future of ITN. We look forward to having full membership involvement in putting together a strong plan of action for the future of our flagship project.

Please RSVP to Sondra at Headquarters if you plan to attend. (305) 443-0160 or jrlmiami@bellsouth.net
