Wednesday, I went and joined the Saline Environmental Commission; I think I am relegated to being a member of a 'sub-committee' as I am a resident of the hinterlands of outer York Township. The steaming tundra, as it were. The commission is in the process of setting goals for 2009, having spent 2008 focused on issues of water quality. I am very concerned with environmental issues, and plan to add my input to developing sound, intelligent policies for the greater Saline area.
One of the issues the commission is going to focus on is that of visibility in the community, including cooperative effort with neighboring municipalities. Cooperation and visibility is one of the issues I've stressed often to both the chamber of commerce and to Tri County. No town (or township, or organization) is an island, we all have to work together.
I'm interested to see how this plays out, and I'd be happy to be a part of it. After all, that is one of the reasons I joined Leadership Saline in the first place.

Jeff,
Congratulations on your involvement at the local level. It takes a lot of folks like you to make our communities the wonderful places to live that we all experience. Thanks!
Heck yeah; its the 80/20 ratio all over. 80% of the involvement is by 20% of the population, although I get the feeling that its a lot less than that. We all need to do something for the community at large.
