Oooh What A DAY!!!

Yesterday I had the awesome opportunity to work with a team of individuals committed to changing the current perception of the Queen City. Individuals from all sectors of professional disciplines: sales, marketing, medicine, sports, education, accounting, and civics were spearheaded by visionary Darryl Clark to help organize the first ever historic walk/run for our community.

With just over 8 weeks for planning this momentous endeavor, the team pulled together their resources, contacts, expertise and energy. Meeting every Monday and follow-up conference calls on Thursday we keep our noses to the grind stone and on yesterday – in the words of James Brown – we received the BIG Payback making every minute and hour worth the exhaustive effort.

As I remarked to one of the reporters yesterday, my 3 years of service on the Board of Education may not please everyone, but NO ONE will be able to say I sat by and did nothing. I plan to be involved in many more activities such as what was witnessed yesterday during the remainder of my term. It is vitally important that we all take whatever we have, wherever we are, to improve the condition of our city and support and encourage our youth. People coming together for the exclusive benefit of community! It is poetry in motion!

Thank you to the community who came out 191 registered walkers/runners STRONG yesterday! The diversity in persons yet the singleness in purpose were extraordinary!

Let us continue the momentum!

Ciao for now!
