Apology letter to city council, where I sent my notes by accident and some commentary as I composed...lol

What I sent was more of a history and notes to myself as I composed this letter.

My point was merely to suggest that we have a, " Cumberland Family and Fun Day ", and make it a festive time where we can share our collective ideas and offer everyone walking through the doors a warm welcome.

I have posted this idea elsewhere hoping to get positive feedback and organization and I would like to know what each of you think and how you think the city can best support the activity.

I will post all communications online so that they may be read by all interested and perhaps this alone would help cut through some red tape at meetings by getting the business at hand in the open where it is common knowledge for all.

Thanks for your dedicated service to our comunitty.

Letter to CITY COUNCIL ANDButch Hendershot 05022011

Mayor, City Council and Friends:



First I would like to say thanks to Butch...with no dis-respect to anyone else.



Butch, you have kindly responded to my letters in the newspaper in the past, and I appreciate it very much.

I want to have you read my most recent letter, and then some subsequent thoughts...mostly for a Cumberland family Fun Day picnic...that would be free...I have many ideas, and I have posted this all over, awaiting response now and would love to hear yours.

Thanks for your time and dedication, as well as experience and wisdom.

John Stephen Swygert



Well I was recently published in the newspaper and was delighted to see my words in print. I hope they are well received. Please read this first as well.

I have had a few thoughts, and I have passed them around the local area internet through facebook and twitter, etc, and I am hoping fort some great feedback on an idea that I think and I think many will agree is an idea that is long overdue....



My attached diatribe (sarcastic) may ramble but it is merely my excitement and my ideas that flow forth as i hope they will for each of us and we unite together one day soon closer then we ever have as a collective communitty.



Thanks for your time sirs and madames:
