Interesting, my wife has received at least 2 emails from this group about the Manara Academy.

I think that this email is from the same email address that sent me an
email previously.
Don't know how they got my address.

You are invited to participate in the special-called City Council
session that will culminate in a vote regarding the use of Christ Our
Savior Lutheran Church property for the Manara Academy Charter School.
June 16, 2009 - tomorrow night!
7:00 pm
Town Center Building
255 Parkway Blvd
Why should you attend this meeting?
The volume of activity in this location will impact our community in
many ways. In brief, we oppose the use of this land due to traffic and
safety implications, the volume of people and activity located within
residential zoning, and the strain on municipal resources. How the
council members vote on this single issue will serve as a key indicator
of what we can expect from our elected officials in all future city
matters. It is our stance that the residents and the neighborhoods
surrounding this location will be adversely impacted. In this
particular case, the citizens of Coppell have overwhelmingly expressed a
VOCAL and WRmEN oPPOSmON to this special use permit.

This issue is receiving significant media attention. There have been
reporters and attorneys at both Planning & Zoning meetings and they most
certainly will be present tomorrow night. Manara's attorneys have
, insinuated that our position of opposition is discriminatory in basis '
and racially motivated. We unequivocally repudiate that inflammatory
label. Coppell is a community of spiritual strength with respect for
differing personal beliefs. Our diversity is evident in Coppell's daily
life and speaks for itself.
Please join us to affirm our stance that the citizens of Coppell are
opposed to any dense volume use of this land, no matter what its
purpose- governmental, commercial or educational.
Neighbors, make the effort and let your voice be heard!
Please forward this note to all concerned.
