Coffeehouse on Beltline Road and learn about the Town of Addison.  This month, Greg Patterson, the Director of Development at the WaterTower Theatre, and Glynda Turner, former councilmember and WOW member, spoke to us. Buddy Frazer, a member of the WaterTower Theatre's board of directors, also attended. Here are some interesting tidbits from their presentations.
