NEIGHBORHOOD CONGRESS KICK-OFF

TUESDAY, JANUARY 23^rd, 4:00 P.M.

EAST SALISBURY SCHOOL, SALISBURY, MD

STATEMENT OF RICHARD M. POLLITT, JR.,

IN MY STATE OF THE COUNTY ADDRESS LAST YEAR, I SAID I WAS

GOING TO ENCOURAGE THE FORMATION OF A WICOMICO COUNTY

NEIGHBORHOOD CONGRESS, A COUNTYWIDE COALITION OF

NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS SEEKING THE PRESERVATION AND

BETTERMENT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. TODAY, WE GATHER IN THE

NEIGHBORHOOD SERVED BY EAST SALISBURY SCHOOL TO TAKE THE

FIRST STEP IN MAKING THIS A REALITY. WE ARE SPENDING NO

GOVERNMENT FUNDS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONGRESS SO IT WILL BE AN

ALL VOLUNTEER EFFORT. TODAY I AM ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO APPLY

TO BE ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE THAT WILL FORM THE

NEIGHBORHOOD CONGRESS.

IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THIS…IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,

GIVE ME A CALL AT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICE BUILDING AT 410-548-4801.

I HAVE WITH ME TODAY THE TWO VOUNTEERS WHO ARE HEADING

THIS INITIATIVE. THEY ARE SALISBURY CITY COUNCILPERSON

DEBBIE CAMPBELL AND NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVIST GEORGE “ROCKY”

BURNETT. IF YOU WOULD RATHER CONTACT DEBBIE OR ROCKIE,

PLEASE DO. THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE GET STARTED

ON THIS IMPORTANT EFFORT TO KEEP MAKING WICOMICO COUNTY A

BETTER PLACE FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS. THANK YOU.
