Tuesday -- State Primaries as well as the Corktown Residents' Council election

Tue, 08/03/2010 - 03:47 — Jeff DeBruyn

Hello Corktowners:

Remember, tomorrow will be the State Primaries as well as the Corktown Residents' Council election.

In the last 18 months, attendance at the Residents' Council Meetings has increased almost 400 %. Whereas 10 -12 community members would attend monthly meetings in the past, we've been averaging over 50 / month for the last 12 months! I am especially pleased by the increased participation by people that had never been to a meeting before from all corners of the community.I can't think of a more engaged Detroit community. In terms of measurement of volunteer hours by Corktowners, the IRS would value the amount of volunteer work Corktowners do to keep their community clean, safe and community-oriented to exceed $300,000 and that doesn't even include the huge hours that members of the Corktown Historical Society contribute as well as all of the other individual / business efforts! No wonder our community is so stable.
