Great Groups

Dear Citizens,

Do you have cable tv with hundreds of channels? Probably.

Do you sit down and watch every channel, every day? No.

I'm beginning to feel that way with local non-profits, community groups and local businesses. So many things are going on and there's no way that I can take part in everything.

A short list of groups that have crossed my path which I would like to honor by briefly mentioning them:
Treemendous, MD for planting trees (www.trees.maryland.gov)
Myrl Hartman with Citizenre, a local business who rents solar panels (www.jointhesolution.com/myrl)
Magothy River Association for taking care of our local waterway (www.Magothyriver.org)
Friends of Downs Park for taking care of our local park
All of the neighborhood associations that I've run across for taking care of our neighborhoods. It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.
H.O.P.E., a local non-profit that provides much needed items to the needy (www.hopeforall.us)
The local police-community relations councils for getting bad guys off the streets.

There are many strands that go into the fabric of our community. One of the perks of campaigning is the opportunity it has given me to see so many of those strands up close.
