<DIV>Hi Lisa and neighbors,</DIV>
<DIV>Sometimes we don't hear about the people who are actively involved in the
community because they don't make a lot of noise. Many are doing things to
make the town better. I know that Del Fanning picks up trash every day
when he walks his dog. I know that Simon and I pick up trash all the time
we are out walking around. I know that the Anacotia Watershed Society (by
the way they could use some donations this season) have a clean up day and also
participate in Gorgeous Prince Georges Day. I know that I, myself, the
Mayor and even the Mayor's mother when she was visiting picked up lots of trash
along the river in the poring rain when the AWS had a clean up. I know
that many people in town do their part without any fanfare. Yes, there
might be complaining on the list, but there are also many good people who do
lots of work behind the scenes. This is the season to recognize them even
if we do not know who they are. Thanks to all you unknowns! This is
also a good time to watch the movie "Its a Wonderful Life" It's my model
for a small town.
