Overtown set to vote for new COB members

Towners, this is your week to select the new members for the 2008 Overtown Community Oversight Board! As you may (or may not) know, the elections were postponed because of cancellations during Tropical Storm Fay. The members of this board will be advising City of Miami officials of issues that are affecting the Overtown community, so it is important to have members that actually care about this community more than building their resume!
Here's the breakdown:

WHEN: THIS THURSDAY! August 28th
WHERE: Overtown N.E.T. office, 1490 NW 3rd Ave, Suite 111
