Ambassador Entry--Charlie Brown

Why is community involvement important?

Cities and towns would not be able to survive without community involvement. Community involvement is an essential tool for all communities to fulfill their goals.

I live in a small town of about 260 people. I have served on the town council, both as a councilman and as Mayor, as the president of the Community Housing Development Corporation, and have been on the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department for over 20 years.

Community involvement is what gives a town its identity. Whether a company is sponsoring a Little League baseball team, or an individual is coaching that team, the goal is the same. We all want to make that community a better place to live, work and play. It requires volunteers at each level. Some can give monetary support, some can give their time. Both are essential for survival.
