SAMBA had a couple great presentations last night, but unfortunately I can't say the same thing about the attendance.  SAMBA is certainly doing some regrouping and building a foundation for the organization and the commercial district in Springfield.

One of the first issues being worked on is communication with not only the businesses of Springfield but also community in general.  SAMBA's twitter account went live yesterday and today the new facebook fan page launched, where hopefully Springfield commercial issues, concerns, comments, and hopefully compliments can be discussed.
