You have a great sentiment that I whole heartedly agree with.

There is just one problem I see: the word "do."

Everyone wants to bitch, piss, and moan. But, very, very few are willing to "do" anything meaningful about the need for "do" in their community. It's always someone else's job or I don't have time or I could never do that.

I'm an old boomer now. I've spent my time "doing" things for my community because those things needed to be done and no other people wanted to do them. I just want Millennials, GenX, and GenY or Z step into these things and bring their skills and perspectives to our community. We need them. And I just want to finish the remaining 10 years or so of my life and fade quietly away. But that hasn't happened yet, I have a Township Board meeting this Thursday evening.......
