Union Ave. Meth. Church Updates

Help us Save the Historic Union Ave.

Methodist Church Building!

Union Ave Meth Church

IMPORTANT...Ok folks here is what we are asking you all to do starting first thing Wednesday July 7th :

Even though Charlie Golden, VP at CVS corporate, told the National Trust last Friday that CVS would honor their agreement to not demolish any building individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places he is no longer returning phone calls from the National Trust. Also, there has been no action on the local level to pull their (CVS') plans that will go before the Land Use Control Board this Thursday July 8 at 10 am.

Please email the following individuals, and let them know how you really feel about CVS not honoring their original agreement! This is the last chance to request CVS pull their plans to demolish this historic Midtown Church.

Charlie Golden VP of Real-estate- CEGolden@cvs.com
Helena Foulkes Chief Marketing Officer HBFoulkes@cvs.com
Erin Pensa Senior Manager, Public Relations EPensa@cvs.com
Carolyn Castel VP Corporate Communications CCastel@cvs.com

Everyone please plan to attend the Land Use Control Board meeting on Thursday July 8 at 10 am at City Council chambers first floor of City Hall 125 N.
