TO Lynwood Block Captains
FROM. Percy L. Brown/Chairperson
DATE. September 19, 1994
SUBJECT Attendance
We have been trying for sometime now to increase the attendance and support of Block Captains
at Block Council meetings. We believe that strong Block Clubs and a strong Block Council are
very positive for the citizens of Lynwood.
There may be some Block Clubs within the city that are active but not represented by the Block
- Council. To you I say, " there is strength in numbers,", and I urge you to become ar active
participant of the Block Council so you will be united with other Block Clubs.
Beyond our regular monthly meeting, we had two excellent workshops during the last month.
Like our regular meetings, attendance was lets say- - left a lot to be desired. However, those of us
that attended both workshops, believe they were of great value. They were both interesting and
informative.
The first workshop was on August 27, 1994 It was facilitated by various departments of the city:
of Lynwood. Each department had a representative or representatives to explain the services
provided by their department. We were provided with the names and telephone numbers of
persons to call to resolve problems handled by their department.
The second workshop was September 10, 1994 and was facilitated by the Southern California
Organizing Committee (SCOC). The primary goals of this workshop were to emphasis the
importance of good organization and how to organize for maximum effectiveness. SCOC did an
outstanding job
SCOC did something for us they usually don't do, they facilitated our workshop "FREE" and
we sincerely thank them_
Again I ask for your attendance and support at our Block Council meetings.
Lets get big.
Lets get organized
Lets get aggressive and start attacking and resolving problems for our city.
I look forward to seeing you at our next Block Council meeting.
