In addition to the above comments, the purpose of the Friends For Summerfield is:
Show "CAN DO" attitude
Be POSITIVE about Summerfield
Look to the FUTURE, leave the negative behind
Get Out the Vote
Encourage attendance of Town Council meetings, show support
Visibly show agreement with key issues
Respectfully show disagreement with untruthful comments & exaggerations
There's more, but I want other excited folks (edited by SMS) to speak up also..........speak up y'all !!!!!!!!!!

As the Friends For Summerfield is a topic very specifically under the Summerfield umbrella, it has appropriately been moved under our town of Summerfields Forum, where it rightfully belongs. We are proud of our town !!!
My excitement at the potential of FFS is hard to contain. I am getting phone calls & emails from folks who are excited about participating in future meetings. The pride of our town is showing and, like a saying Deb picked up in New Orleans....................."IT'S ALL GOOD !!!!"

Pappy weren't at the first meetin', but I shore would like to see one o' the missions this group takes on is to make sure folks gets the straight story on thangs. I think that's got to be one o' the fundamentals. Few thangs rile me more than somebody runnin' around makin' false claims an' stirrin' up thangs to where people don't know who to b'lieve. I'd like to think this here group would take a lead in he'pin' to dig out the straight facts an' makin' sure people know what's what.
Pappy also sees the formation o' this group as a oppportunity to set a good example o' how folks can honestly discuss issues an' at the same time respect differences of opinion, realizin' no solution will ever be perfect, no theory o' government will ever be perfect. (Pappy might have to change his ways.)
To my way o' thinkin', the simple act o' formin' this group sends a powerful message that there's a committed bunch that's ready an' determined to find ways to move forward.
I feel confident this group will not simply be another political spin machine, but somethin' apart from an' beyond tired an' childish politics. Or mebbe it's somethin' that's way before you even get to politics. Mebbe it's somethin' formed from the simple power o' regular people workin' together an' tryin' to make their town an' their children's lives better. That's all. No axes to grind, no scores to settle, no secret hidden agendas, no intimidation, no roadblocks. Just tryin' to make it better. That sounds good to me.

Macca.......I very nearly made a comment about hoping parallel organizations would form in our sister cities, but left it out. Thankfully we were on the same wavelength.

| Yes, the group certainly welcomes participation from everyone. Constructive ideas - the more, the better. Hopefully, this young Friends for Summerfield group will grow and bring about friendship, ideas, and actions. Wouldn't it be great to double or triple the number of people voting, or attending Town Council meetings, or if more of our neighbors just expressed their thoughts on making a great town greater.

| Maybe years from now, when one of the younger maccas is doing some investigative work, they'll run across this group of civic-minded citizens who made such an impact on the history of this area!!! ♥♥♥

Kudos to Sandra for a great article on the Friends for Summerfield organization in the Feb 2 - 8 issue of the NWO.
Title "Taking Back Their Town" did a good job of setting the tone.
Good Job Sandra, Thank You !!!!
