Fine Whines Take Time

I hope this day finds everyone happy and healthy. I am certainly looking forward to our Beale Street Trek tonight. I need to back up a bit and apologize for not getting my hand around this blog sooner. My computer skills are pitiful. I am never signing out of this blog, too fearful I'll loose it!

My class project BUILDING A COMMUNITY PET WATCH COOPERATIVE is shaping up. I have been fortunate to have the help of other pet lovers. There is a babysitting cooperative is Midtown that has provided great guidance and the local churches have placed my "add" in their Sunday bulletins. We now live in the Cooper-Young area and they do have a Lost-pet, Found-pet service notification for the community residents who belong to the neighborhood association. I will be working along with them to develop this cooperative. It is my goal to create and provide a power point presentation that can be used as a demonstration tool not just for my neighborhood but for all neighborhoods who wish to try a cooperative.

I was saddened to learn that the Center for Neighborhoods had been shuttered due to budget cuts. It was this great place down on 7th street below Adams, it had everything neighborhood. This simply demonstrates how necessary each of us need to contribute to our place, our neighborhood, our community. I am having fun with this and look forward to sharing this with the class.
