The BING Thing
Written by dawn pechman   
Tuesday, 27 May 2008

Almost five years ago I discovered the The National Civic League .    I called their Denver office and learned (at that time) they worked exclusively with cities.   Living in an Ohio township, I was disappointed, but they said "feel free to use any of our information".

"Are you working to advance citizen democracy and good government in your community?
If so, the National Civic League can help. By informing, uniting and empowering citizens, we are making democratic institutions and systems more accountable, inclusive, and responsive to residents in thousands of communities across the country.

Theodore Roosevelt, Louis Brandeis, Marshall Field, and other visionaries founded NCL in 1894 to promote municipal reform and community democracy. NCL is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to building community.  We help business, government, community groups (non-profits), and individuals work together to solve critical problems. We also serve as a resource for anyone interested in cutting-edge community building practices."

Sounds simple enough.   What's a community?  I think we are all part of larger communities starting with ourselves, families, neighborhoods, schools, churches, civic organizations (or any organization for that matter) city/township/village, county, state, nation, world, etc.   The next question would be:  As an individual and a community, are You surviving and thriving?    It's May, 2008, in NEOhio.  Gas is at $4.00 a gallon, food prices are increasing, many are just barely surviving, few are thriving, so I'm assuming a negative answer.

Public Meetings
Written by dawn pechman

One way we can watch our governments at work is by attending public meetings.    The other is by reviewing public records.    The following is a list of regularly scheduled public meetings in the Crestwood Area.   All but one has a website, and two site provide previous minutes.    If you would like to be able to read the minutes of your village, township, school board or fire district online, let your elected officials know.
