I was asked to publish a thank-you letter for ReBuilding Together, and since this blog tries to be of service to my community, I'm happy to oblige...
Pam Patrek and Valeria Golebiowski both signed the letter, which reads as follows:
November 16, 2008
Dear ReBuilding Together Staff,
Valeria and I wanted to send you this note to thank you and the volunteers for all the planning and hard work on our privacy fences. We know the work you did was so much more than we anticipated and appreciate your willingness to stick with us. We can't possibly explain to you how much more safe and protected something as simple as a privacy fence has made us feel.
We were truly honored when we heard from one of the ReBuilding Together staff that the volunteers from the city specifically asked to work on our projects. We are so grateful to the Hawthorne Community for making these resources available to us and letting us know that we are important to the community. We are amazed at every one's commitment and dedication to help us take back our neighborhood and return the community into the safe place it used to be.
Once again thank you all, and may God bless each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Pam Patrek and Valeria Golebiowski
Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com
