We Need 50,000 More like her...

I wanted to dedicate this post to a very hard working and active community member! I’ve had the opportunity to speak with her once or twice, and have heard or read her “hold no punches” style of advocacy. These are the type of folks we NEED in Plainfield. People who will Talk about it and BE about it!

She is part of the Save Muhlenberg initiative and provides a steady stream of information regarding the fight to get the city, state and government to do the RIGHT THING by the residence of Plainfield and surrounding communities that have been served by Muhlenberg for decades!

I love her passion and commitment to this cause, and most of all I RESPECT her resolve to BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION! That’s what people who care do… THEY DO SOMETHING! It is NOT enough to say something or write something or complain about something – to change something YOU must DO SOMETHING!

So – Dottie Gutenkauf – this Blog post's is for you – for all you do! Thank You! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

Please take a look at the article regarding the potential use of the Muhlenberg property as printed by the Courier News yesterday.

If you are interested in joining the Save Muhlenberg initiative, or would like more information about what they do and/or what they need; please contact Dottie at dottiegutenkauf@gmail.com.

Ya Missed Me???

Hey Plainfield Family – I’m back with ya!

It’s been an emotionally and physically draining two weeks, and as the saying goes “THAT which doesn’t kill us – makes us strong!”

And strong is what was modeled before me and strength for the journey is what I aim to example for my mentees!

I had a very productive meeting with the JSLP board this late morning/early afternoon, and I look forward to some wonder opportunities to partner and create life enriching experiences for Plainfield Public School Students.  Tonight I have a meeting with the citywide Youth Council to continue efforts in developing and engaging our youth in positive programs.  Then tomorrow evening the Community/School Council's inaugural meeting takes place.  Once again I'm encouraged by the amount of volunteers and interests the community has shown regarding this group.

It’s refreshing to be in the presence of dedicated, action oriented, determined “SOLUTION-SEEKERS!”

We are primed to do GREAT THINGS. Ready or NOT here we come!

Take a look at my other volunteer work “Tiaras To Crowns”. I took them on a summer excursion this past weekend – living, learning and loving – that’s what it is ALL ABOUT!
