Faithful, Steadfast until the end

Awaiting a listening ear, an attentive heart,
A sensitive soul, liberated beyond the world's…

First, I'd like to say," I LOVE LEIMERT PARK AND HAVE SINCE I MOVED HERE FROM NEWARK, NJ IN 1980. I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS REALLY " BLACK OWNED." I DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT THE TIME, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING I FELT GOOD ABOUT,( AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHY ) NO.W THAT SO MANY OF OUR BUSINESS'S ARE MISSING, I NOW UNDERSTAND. THEY SAY WE DON'T PATRONIZE EACH OTHER, BUT WHEN WE DO, THEY INVADE OUR COMMUNITIES. WHY???????????????

For the past 7 years, I've had the opportunity to attend quite a few CAC/CRA meetings. They've been interesting affairs, crazy spirited at the height of the Marlton Square debacle when there were questions on whether Chris Hammond would be a no-show. I've got notes, agendas, and minutes I can't bear to toss. I haven't been to many meetings over the past couple years, but I'm happy I made this one.
