A very important meeting was held tonight by the UNITED WAY, Lynn - Community by Community Co..., where a discussion was started about starting more discussions, many more discussions about what our communities, our city needs. LPS was represented by DR LATHAM, MAYOR KENNEDY, LSC MEMBER-ELECT CHARLIE GALLO. and LSC MEMBER (and top vote getter) RICK STARBARD (Charlie was #2-does anyone else see a pattern hear?). Of course the Mayor had good things to say about the need to work together, but RICK chimed in with some important words(It's that pattern thing again).
DR LATHAM had nothing to say. Her silence was deadening but it still spoke volumes and not in a good way. LPS has to be the catalyst for positive change in our community. Our youth have to provide the energy for that change because only they have enough energy to make it happen. It is LPS's job to teach them how to channel that energy and make it happen.
Before we can find answers we have to ask questions. Speak up DR LATHAM, I couldn't hear you. What is your vision for LPS's involvement in our youth's future? Where do you see LPS taking us?
I'll tell you,a good place to start would be to sign on board with THE NEW LYNN COALITION'S effort to open up LVTI as a community center. Let's maximize our resources.
Oh yeah, I was glad to see the famous COACH K there, he was one GREAT resource you wasted last year. Hopefully you have learned from your mistakes.
