Do you want to help to make Lorain County a better place to live? Do you see needs that should be met but feel powerless to correct the problems?
Reclaim Lorain County is a group comprised of people from churches and other institutions in the county. Our purpose is to identify issues which can be corrected, gather information about those issues, and present the issues to candidates and public officials for the purpose of gaining their support in correcting them. We do not endorse candidates; we are non-partisan.
What can you do? You can become informed about the issues and contribute your presence and your ideas, so that Lorain County will become a better place to live and to work.
What has been done so far? We have conducted an extensive listening campaign to identify the needs of Lorain County. We prioritized those needs and formed three task forces: jobs, city maintenance, and violence. The task forces are currently gathering information on these topics. We will use this information to identify issues which can be addressed and corrected.
What is coming up? On Sept. 7, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 320 Middle Ave., Elyria, at 7:00 P.M. we will meet to plan the Action Assembly for Oct. 26.
On Oct. 26, at 7:00 P.M. at St. Mary's Church we will hold an accountability Action Assembly. State, county and local politicians will be invited to attend. We will present the issues which we feel need to be addressed. Politicians will be invited to respond, giving their plans as to how they would deal with the issues presented by the three task forces. Our goal is to have 400 citizens in attendance.
Following the Action Assembly, we will have a voter-turnout campaign for the November election, encouraging voters to express their informed wishes. By working together and by being informed, we can alert our leaders as to what can and must be accomplished. We can elect leaders who are committed to reclaiming Lorain County.
Reserve the dates of Sept. 7 and Oct 26 (both at 7, both on Tues. and both at St. Mary's). Commit to being at both meetings to help plan the Action Assembly on the 7th and to hear the candidates on the 26th. This is your chance to make a difference. Be there and take advantage of this opportunity to help RECLAIM LORAIN COUNTY!
