MEET THE FORTUNA CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES
Monday, October 6 at Fortuna Chamber Meeting
The three remaining candidates for City Council—Tiara Brown, Linda Gardner and Sue Long (incumbent)—will be at the regular Chamber meeting on Monday, October 6, at the Monday Club (610 Main Street).  A fourth candidate—Josh Brown—has withdrawn from the race leaving the three candidates running for three open seats on the Council.  Lunch (optional) is $10.  It’s a great chance to hear what our future Council members have to say about their vision for the future of Fortuna.

Classical concert pianist Christopher Atzinger will appear in concert at the Fortuna Monday Club (610 Main Street) on Saturday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m.  The concert is a production of the Fortuna Concert Series.

               Concert time is 7:30 p.m. at the Fortuna Monday Club (610 Main Street).  Ticket prices are General Admission $10; Students and Seniors $8.  Tickets for individual concerts are available at the door.  Doors open at 6:45 p.m.  Please visit our website at fortunaconcertseries.com  or, for further information, email fortunaconcert@live.com.
