The city of Maple Valley will host its annual Town Hall Meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Lake Wilderness Lodge.

The meeting will be an opportunity to learn about the Tahoma School District’s efforts to prepare its students to successfully face the next chapter in their life, be it college, to the work force, or both. 

The evening will begin with a birthday cake and ice cream, celebrating the city's 15th anniversary of its incorporation as a city on Aug. 31, 1997. The Mayor and council members will be scooping up the ice cream and serving up the cake.

There will be informational displays. Tahoma School District Superintendent Mike Maryanski will speak about the School District’s “Future Ready” program.

Executive Director Tom McLaughlin will speak about the work of the Center for Advance Manufacturing Puget Sound (CAMPS).

Council and guest speakers will be on hand to answer questions about the exhibits.

The evening will conclude with the traditional open floor session where council members will respond to citizen questions.
