Fifth Ward NNO Picnics - Thanks

The annual National Night Out (NNO) neighborhod picnics took place again last week, Tuesday, August 1 with the Fifth Ward holding at least 25 neighborhood get-togethers.

I tried my hardest to visit them all but only succeeded in visiting 12. What a great opportunity to visit with old friends, put some faces with names on new friends, and, in general have a great time. Thank yo all for your hospitality.

This year I asked the hosts to help me collect written questions and comments so I could have something to work with and as a means of getting some feedback from you in case I wasn't able to personnaly attend the event. THanks for your help and support. I'm glad to say that this seemed to work well and I will certainly do this again next year (if elected, that is.)

I also collected e-mail addresses to add to my ward distribution list. I have a pretty decent contact list by neighborhoods so if something in the Ward is happening in your neck of the woods I can try to let yo know about it.

This also works well for soliciting your input on issues that come to the council. (how else am I supposed to represent you?) So, if you haven't been getting anything in the way of e-mail occasionally from me (guarrantee no jokes, spam, campaign literature or the like) then send your address to me at bobnow@charter.net .

Thanks
