Center Grove, Indiana

I want to thank those of you who have volunteered to support our effort to investigate the self incorporation option for the Center Grove area of White River Township. Your willingness to turn your words of support into action is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, while I have received hundreds of emails expressing support and a desire to sign the petition, at this time we do not have enough volunteers to tackle the amount of work and due diligence that will be required to determine if self incorporation is a viable option for our area. While disappointing, this does not mean that we are giving up on the effort.

I will continue to accept the names of those willing to volunteer to participate on committees until we reach the critical mass necessary to move this effort forward, even if that takes another several months. One change we will make to the requirements for volunteering is that resumes will no longer be necessary. As long as you live in the area we are seeking to incorporate and are willing to volunteer your time and talents we will add your name to the list.

I want to say thank you once again to those who have volunteered. At times we get so wrapped up in our daily lives that we forget that “we the people” have the ability to enact change by getting involved and turning our words into actions. It is one thing to sign a petition and quite another to donate time and talent. So thanks again to those who have volunteered, and thanks in advance to those of you who will volunteer in the coming months.
