Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign

Hi everyone. The past week went by so fast, I did not realize I had not written since last Monday. The past week was fairly eventful. We are receiving dozens of sign orders everyday. It seems that as soon as one goes in the ground, two more people call and say they saw it and want one of their own. Unfortunately, we are also receiving calls from folks who had a sign and then woke up one morning to find that it had “mysteriously” disappeared. Some are starting to call it “Oberweis 2.” No matter, we have plenty of signs, and plenty of volunteers who are willing to head out and replace the stolen signs. We will not be denied.

I attended another fun gathering at Mark and Carole Brun’s house last Friday. Stay tuned to the website for pictures of that gala event. Saturday evening I dropped by the Youth Commission Dodgeball Tournament which was a huge success. Congrats to Tom Carey, Missy Ryan and all the others who were involved in the planning. My guess is that many kids are already thinking about fielding teams at next year’s event. Sunday, I met with a group of neighbors who live near the old Napleton property and are very concerned about how that area will be developed.

I will be meeting with a group of folks on Tuesday at an event hosted by the Parmets on Sylviawood. Wednesday, I’ll be meeting with people at Bristol Court to find out about their views and concerns, and this Saturday I’ll be at Bridget Urban’s house on North Greenwood for another get together. Friday and Saturday night, I’ll be treated to fun and laughter at the Washington School and Field School V-Shows. I am very much looking forward to those. The following Tuesday, March 10, is our fundraiser at Uncle Dan’s. One of my neighbors, Tom Kasznia, talked his band, Spakl, into playing at the event. This will be a good warm up for their big April gig at the House of Blues. Should be a lot of fun.

Then comes Debate Season. I cannot wait. It will be good to finally go one on one with the incumbent instead of having to run around setting the record straight because of his whispering campaign. I have all of the issues on my side, so it will be interesting to see how he plays it. Check the website for the debate schedule. Hope to see you there.
