And the Block Captains of Neighborhood S

We Can Build Community And the Block Captains of Neighborhood S

The Mayor's Committee of Neighborhood Services was started in 1992. Richard Scheck, who was the mayor at that time, envisioned a town where power could be used to serve the people. He believed that town officials and everyday people could listen, dialogue, and bring their concerns directly to the meetings. The result was a unique partnership of people and officials who worked to make the residents more like family. This Committee has since been faithfully supported by both Mayor Krochmal and Mayor Hermanek up to the present day. This book includes some of the best talks given at the meetings over the past 24 years. They are the gifts of the block captains, residents, and the children. We hope that they serve as an inspiration to the reader to make a difference and to live the Golden Rule in their corner of the world.
