It’s been so long since I last posted that I actually have a lot to say. I’m not going to say it all, but it is nice to have a big backlog of things to so easily get onto the screen.
I am on the board of the West Medford Community Coalition and we just mailed our first newsletter to 5,000 homes. The response has been great. We got a few new members, people called about agency projects that were highlighted in the newsletter, and the comments about the appearance, layout and stories were all glorious.
We had our first Coalition meeting since the distribution of the newsletter last night. One council person (Jon Michaels) and one state senator (Sal Esquival) attended the meeting and they were both very happy with both the newsletter and our level of organization. Sal even distinctly commented on how differenet this meeting was from the last one he had seen a year ago.
Our coalition is gaining respect in the community and with that will come power and with that membership. I think we are headed in a good direction and I am proud to be part of the team.

I’ve been sick for a week. My lungs are still raw and I cough occasionally but otherwise I have energy and mental capacity that has been missing for a week. Back to the fray….
