Thank you for putting out the welcoming mat.  I hope that by bringing us together, we can try to accomplish some goals collabortively. I feel that re-inventing the wheel is non-productive, and realizing that even though the city seperates the neighborhoods by grids, we all face the same issues with violence and poverty. This city is full of people that do care for their neighborhoods, and wish to promote the positive. Sector 3s biggest loss recently was your gain. 

When the city placed Susan B. Anthony on the Sector 4 books, it really bothered our group. The Susan B. Anthony group has always been a large voice for Sector 3 and  losing people like Dawn Noto and Barbara Hoffman  was the most difficult part of that seperation. You folks have inherited a pair of wonderful people that really care, and give all that they can to their community. I was Dawn Noto's co-chair until the "divorce", but we remain great friends. Thank you for your time.

John, thank you for joining my group.  I hope that find my comments informative.  I believe that anything can be accomplished through mutual respect, a positive attitude, and accountability for all.  I look forward to meeting you for a face to face conversation.  I'm old school.

The street is spelled with a G not a C.  Have a great day!

John, why are all the comments below, except mine, dated so long ago?

Thanks for the nice welcome, John.

Thank You John~It would be great to get something going about the missing on here. Since ALonzo and Domonique are from the area and Brian last seen close to the 19th ward it could be helpful. Not to mention to educate the community that Missing Person's is a real problem. One that doesn't seem to be going away.

Thank you for your nice welcome, John.  This website provides a great opportunity to share information about the issues that concern and effect our neighborhood.  

Dear John,

Thanks for the welcome. I have met Judi a few times, and probably you too. Looking forward to being more involved in the neighborhood.

Thank you for the warm welcome, John! My husband and I are moving to Rochester from Florida, and we look forward getting involved in our new community. This website is a wonderful resource. Thank you for everything you do to keep it up and running!

Hello John,

Thank you for reaching out to me.  I am currently doing a service learning group project on block clubs in the SW quadrant.  We are also doing some asset Mapping.

I would love to use you as a resource if you do not mind.

Thank you very much John

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I appreciate all of the hard work that was done to make sure School No. 16 was not closed for good! I look forward to participating in any way I can as we progress with renovations and planning for our return. My personal email address is aebe0717@yahoo.com. Thanks again!

Thank you John; I look forward in meetings to come in the future.

Thanks so much for the welcome message John. I look forward to using the site and connecting more with other community members!

Thank you so much John!

Thank you John for inviting me to join location19.org.  I am looking forward to connect with the SW Educational forum.

thanks John, I'm feeling a little more connected now.  I could not attend last eve meeting because of planned engagement (prior). Look forward to talking with you further

Thanks John, I am slowly understanding everything.  I posted a discussion on the Affordable Care Act and my assistance but will also look through pertinent groups. I'll try to attend the next SWCC meeting! Thanks for everything!

Very informative!  Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome John and thanks for all the advice on how to navigate around Location19!!! I look forward to meeting some people in person and discuss the upcoming events in the area. I'm bummed I missed the meeting this past week, I had to work, but hopefully I can make the next one. Look forward to chatting with you some more! Thanks again!

John,

Thank you for the details for the site!  I'll add myself to a couple of the groups and try to at least keep up with what is happening on the education front.  

As you probably know, resources are being allocated to bring Wilson back to the place it used to be!  One of the goals I have for the PTSO next year is to build community within and around the school.  It is my belief that the school will only be successful if it is filled with students, staff and families that want to be there.  The school and surrounding community should be beneficial to each other!  For example IB students need to have community service hours to graduate.  Some of these hours could be be spent working in the neighborhood and the more students that live in the neighborhood that attend school in their neighborhood the better.

I'm sure we'll have a chance to discuss this more in the near future, maybe at the art show and/or PTSO meeting!  

Lori

Thank you for the info! 

Thank you very much John!

Ha!  I just ran across your comment a year and half later; however, better late than never.  Thank you for the warm welcome, John!

John Thank you! i have the SWCC meeting on my calendar and was planning to attend. Unfortunately i have another meeting scheduled for the SWCC education meeting date but i so look forward to going to the next one as i am interested in the concerns being discussed and addressed. So i look forward to meeting you this Thursday! thank you so much!

John thank you for your welcome. I am very curious to see what or how things play out behind the scenes when it come to the future of the 19th ward.   I take frequent walks throughout the neighborhood regularly and I find it exciting and frustrating  at times by some of the things I observe.
