<p>Tom and neighbors,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks so much for sharing this and asking for action to help Pacci's! </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'll be sending a second letter to the BZA asking them to support this reasonable request. To help make it easy for neighbors to add their voice in this and ensure they're heard, I'm asking neighbors to sign on to this letter. I'll add every neighbor's name
that wants to in my official letter to the BZA. If you want to add your name to support Pacci's, please sign the quick form here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuucwwQ4NegADTdj9LMbHbazMEaktWcL_dsswqHqSnUHRMvw/viewform" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuucwwQ4NegADTdj9LMbHbazMEaktWcL_dsswqHqSnUHRMvw/viewform</a>.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please share this with your neighbors as well. We need to get as many names on this as possible this weekend!</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Charles Allen</p>
