Angela adds…
Generally, the West Reading borough online calendar is updated to reflect meeting cancellations on the day the meeting is scheduled.
Given that the Sunshine Act requires agendas to be posted 24 hours in advance of a public meeting, my guess is that the West Reading Shade Tree Commission meeting on Monday September 9th will be cancelled.
