"Thank you Colleen. There definitely is quite a bit of confusion about where the 19th Ward is. It appears that quite a few people on campus think that the 19th Ward is anywhere west of the river."

I submitted an electronic application for the community association. I am very interested in your education committee. I am currently working with Community Education Task Force to start an independent district wide parent organization. Our next meeting will be on 6/15 at 5:30pm at School Without Walls, 480 Broadway.

Thank you for the welcome! I actually put in an application for the community association over the internet a few days ago. I have been looking for more ways to give back to my community. Despite being at my current address for only 2 years, I grew up on Brookdale Ave. I tried living elsewhere in the city and couldn't wait to get back into the 19th ward! I'm looking forward to following in my dad's footsteps and joining PAC-TAC, also.

I hope to meet more new people soon and get re-acquainted with everyone else!

As a former editor, please note you need to change spelling to "pragmatic" in your profile. But I agree completely!

At 6:00pm on January 11, 2009, Shawn said…: Welcome DeWain and Amy! Thank you so much for joining us here on Location19! I just read your bio, and understand what your talking about. I can only imagine what it must be like with children.

I do believe if we work together, we can create change in the 19th Ward. I now it will not happen over night. We certainly did not get here over night.

Thanks again, and I look forward to meeting you out around the Ward!
