http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/category_rss/communitiesffaith The resident's of the A.O. Smith/Tower Automotive neighborhood and everyone who feels personally connected to the site have decided it is time they build a united front for change in their neighborhood. They are researching Community Advisory Board models around the country with the hopes of creating their own board here in Milwaukee. The board will not be a 501c3, will be autonomous from any funding strings and will speak directly to the needs and the political concerns of the residents. Residents who are interested in helping this effort should attend the next neighborhood meeting on May 10th, 2008 at the Center Street Library. (27th and Fond du Lac) at 10:15 AM. This meeting is open to anyone who cares about what is happening in our city and believes that residents should have the opportunity to compete for the jobs our money creates! http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/jenniferlepps/C2P8 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/jenniferlepps/C2P8/commentary#comments Mon, 05 May 2008 12:58:21 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/jenniferlepps/C2P8 Jennifer Epps http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/e70f0a69f56dbd7c0d_7cm6beyip.jpg Jennifer Epps 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2P8/ For Release On: March 25, 2008 For more information contact: Jennifer Epps 414-443-0682 Fed up with Injustice, Milwaukee Residents "Rise Up" More than 1,000 city residents unite to solve Milwaukee's economic crisis Milwaukee is facing harsh economic times.
