<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Iris: how very kind of you to share such nice thoughts about Rob. He is a gentleman and a scholar and I enjoyed helping him even though I reside in Ward 1. </P>
<P>Re the meet and greet, give Ed Day at the mansion a call. You can talk to him about using the mansion. They cannot provide food, but Gepetto's can do that for you. Riversdale would be a great place to hold such a function.</P>

I appreciated the manner in<BR>>which Rob put forth the effort to not only work to win the Ward One seat,<BR>>but he also always spoke genuinely and highly of his fellow-candidates: my<BR>>immediate neighbor, Roland Walker and Bruce Wernek,
which illustrated to me<BR>>that he is a team player. Team Management is my preferred modus operandi.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>Does any know the costs to hold an event at Riversdale? I understand it can<BR>>hold up to 75. My husband (outstanding jazz artist sensation, Sky Sirewest<BR>>SoundChaser!) and I would be interested in working with Rob and other<BR>>interested parties to plan a Ward One Meet and Greet. I admitted to Rob<BR>>that my husband and I are very often "missing in action" at community events<BR>>due to our work schedule and mentoring commitments; however, I believe there<BR>>are probably others like us who would share our talents and skills if<BR>>allowances could be made to accommodate us via alternative methods:<BR>>e-conferences/ teleconferences/committee "without walls" meetings, etc. In<BR>>2006, many of us work globally,
and have global staff that we manage from<BR>>our home offices. I'd like the benefit of giving back to a community that I<BR>>love very much.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>My neighbor, Roland, has on occasion teased me about my "taking resources"<BR>>out of the Riverdale community, because I work so much with the Hyattsville<BR>>folks on their campaigns and elections, and my youth development programs<BR>>are in Takoma Park and District Heights. Well, Roland's right...and I'd<BR>>like the opportunity to sow some seeds at home. Rob won my vote because he<BR>>convinced me of his insight and commitment to seek ways to motivate Ward One<BR>>residents to become a more productive group and a more inclusive group by<BR>>tapping into the genius of our residents. My sleeves are rolled up, I want<BR>>to help--what are the
alternatives?<BR>><BR>>Iris<BR>><BR>>-------------- next part --------------<BR>>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>>URL: http://riverdale-park.org/pipermail/towntalk_riverdale-park.org/attachments/20060220/d7ab6638/attachment-0001.htm<BR>><BR>>------------------------------<BR>><BR>>_______________________________________________<BR>>TownTalk mailing list<BR>>TownTalk@riverdale-park.org<BR>>http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk_riverdale-park.org<BR>><BR>><BR>>End of TownTalk Digest, Vol 7, Issue 9<BR>>**************************************<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div></html>
