I want to thank WFMY tv for continuing to tell our story on the news.  I was impressed with the coverage last night.  I thought that Heather Armstrong explained what was going on very well. 

THANK YOU HEATHER!!!

It was nice that the city of Greensboro responded from our request, with the a community meting last night and one on the west side of town on Thursday.  For us to get a chance to talk with the different city departments.  I had hoped that more of the community would have shown up to learn some more and ask questions.  I found it interesting to talk to the officers from the police department and hear their answers to the under staffing in their department and how they are dealing with the Gangs in Greensboro.  I just hope the gangs dont find us and that they can hire and train all the police that they need.  Is more than a bit concerning to me to hear from them how under staffed they are and then to learn the time line to train and prepare an officer, before they can start to protect us.  maybe sometime in 2009 or 2010 we will have the correct number of officers.

We still need to write letters to each council members explaining your (our) concerns.  they still have the final vote.  we also need to show up in mas to the April 1st City council meeting.  we should be there at 5:15 pm.

Don't forget the party we are having in the Whitehurst village part this Sunday March 16 th from 12:30-3:30 PM
