Upcoming Meeting and Guest

Our regular monthly meeting is this coming Thursday at the fire station, 6606 N. Regal, at 6:30pm. Our guest speaker will be Karen Kearney. Karen feels the time has come to change the number of county commissioners from three to five. Under our current system, no two commissioners are supposed to be at any meeting or really be together at the same time because it may constitute a quorum and thus be illegal. By having five people on the commission then any two could discuss county business or attend a community event together legally. She has asked the commissioners to place this on the ballot. If they choose not to then she says she is prepared to begin a petition drive herself. What are your thoughts? Come listen to what she has to say and ask questions.

POLL #9: Neighborhood Involvement

Not sure how this poll will pan out. We sometimes wonder why more residents don't get more involved with us. Usually we come up with the same conclusions: people are too busy, they're pretty much satisfied with the way things are, they just want to be left alone, or they're not even aware of us. Some neighborhoods are more organized than us, some less or not at all. We know the world is made up of all kinds of people and not all can or want or should do the same thing. But there is strength in numbers, especially if those numbers are unified in vision and soul or purpose. So this poll is for those who don't usually participate with us. I guess I could have added a couple of more choices now that I think of it. Maybe later this summer I'll ask something similar but phrased a little different. Anyway, we're interested in any feedback.
