Parents, volunteers and citizens are to gather as the storm from the City's Budget hits. We'll have a child focused meeting. If we scatter, we are weak.
Outraged citizens, former employees, recreation professionals, advocates and parents are gathering for an open community meeting at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, August 12 at Armstrong Park. Bring your own lawn chair, paper, pencil and ideas.
Mark Rauterkus, a retired coach and publisher who is a volunteer activist and stay-at-home parent is hoping for a meaningful interaction among concerned interests from all sectors of the community. "We need to gather and make certain that the truth of the matters are not hijacked -- like our Rec Centers and swim pools."
"With our children lives on the line as pawns in Mayor Murphy's hight stakes gambles -- we as parents need to illustrate great care, openness, love and honesty. Furthermore, its parents who have the potential and capacity to fix this city and begin the healing. To gather, vent and work together is essential. The Mayor and his administration has never been able to 'play well with others,'" said Rauterkus.
