Planting Seeds of Progress

By Lottie Sneed

I took a family – mother and daughter to apply for a housing programs that assists with stabilizing structures, addressing heating issues.  They were referred to me by one of our volunteers.  When I picked them up this morning, they had a piece of birthday cake (the mom had a birthday on yesterday) and a card.  It was a Christmas Card addressed to “community person”.  I even got hugs.

Here is a group of youth and leaders that I worked with on a successful campaign to build a recreation center in Darley Park.  Ground was broken on the 2nd phase-  a gym this past Saturday.  These young people knocked on doors, proposed designs, and went off to careers and college.  The photo includes a college grad and two others still engaged in volunteering in their community.

We plant seeds; we are not always present for the harvest.  Be inspired!
