(I just left a similar message on Ricardo's profile, so sorry if this is a duplicate). I would like to thank you for being a member of the 19th Ward Community Association. Like you, I am concerned about education issues and making our neighborhood a better place for kids. The 19th WCA's Education Committee has been dormant, but we can get it back on track if we can find enough people who are willing to work on the committee.

If you haven't already done so, please check out the 19th WCA's website at http://www.19wca.org/

If you have any questions, comments or input, please feel free to contact me at home at 527-9619, or you can call Ann at the 19th WCA office at 328-6571.

Thanks,
DeWain Feller
President, 19th Ward Community Association
