Thanks Derek. Good info in the Dangercast. I reached out to the city but, I'm not going to get their attention until I start gaining some momentum. I figured it would be great to collaborate so we don't step on each others toes by offering redundant services, programs, etc. but, it's not going to happen this early. I'll have to wait and see what the future holds. At this point I'm only focusing on what I can do for the community. Like you said Alex, I'm not looking for handouts.
