I never believe in having more than 7 people at a planning meeting because typically when more show up very little planning takes place. Well this meeting had two new comers to the festivals planning meeting and once again I am pleased to say I really enjoy my neighbors. Mr. Dorsey has lived here since the late seventy's and is a photographer, artist and mentor.
A charming, intelligent and handsome man who was raised in Chicago, my hometown and graduated from the same high school as my mother. I always find that enjoyable! Newcomer #2 was Earl Cooper who is running for the District 58 Representative seat that was held by Ralph Long but was lost to Simone Bell in the July 31st primary election.
Earl Cooper, offered great information, he is progressive in his thoughts and activism surrounding children and APS. The one thing that he said that rang the loudest is that we have Representatives that only work three month out of the year and we must hold them accountable for all twelve months. What are they doing with the other nine months? Also Earl Cooper wants to participant in our festival as an ambassador. We loved the idea and plan to take him up on his offer!
Looking forward to a "Great Day in Adams Park"!
