Getting to Know You - February 3

[Ann]

You read in your local newspaper that a new ordinance is under consideration. You are highly opposed to this new ordinance. Do you get involved and voice your opinion or sit quietly and allow it to become law?

[Ry]

I'm there voicing my opinion. I have been to so many township and city meetings in this area they hate to see me coming. Before John's diagnosis I was the secretary for our lake association and had to go to lots of meetings concerning things that would impact our lake.

I would like to think I would get involved. I have become very involved at the hospital Alan has been treated at, sitting on a couple of committees. So at this time in my life I might be more inclined to get involved in other issues.

I would be right there...jumping in with both feet! My middle son is mentally challenged. Years ago, I learned that I had to "fight" the system to always see that his educational needs were met. I learned that one person CAN make a difference. So glad to see we have so many strong voices among us!!!

I would get involved.

[Geri]

My daughter coined the expression "Mom's latest crusade" years ago.

I'm always involved in something.

Kind of like fighting.

I would jump in with both feet and unfortunately would sometimes then put both feet in my mouth. I do not suffer fools easily and too often it is these fools that can affect the quality of our lives.

[lilyjohn]

get envolved unless you are fighting a fight that can do more harm than good.

If it was something that I thought was really major, I would probably write a letter. I don't do well confronting people, so to be honest, if I didn't write a letter, I would probably stay out of it and then complain about it later.
