Not just the news, we made the top story, compliments of Fox28. You can read the full story here (complete with video).
With so much negativity about our city lately, it was great to see Fox give people wanting to talk about South Bend in a positive way the top story.
OK. So they got our name wrong but, mistakes happen.
We believe there will come a time when everyone knows about this movement and our name will be easily recognized (and remembered, LOL).
We had a great meeting. We received an update on one idea brought up at our first meeting. Apparently, Marquette School is willing to work on a school wide project with the students, emphasizing the positives in South Bend.
That is wonderful news! Our kids need to focus on being positive people and positive action is always a good thing.
We realize that there are many more wanting to get involved and we're working to try to schedule meetings on various nights to allow even more people to get involved in this exciting grassroots movement.
Apparently, the downside to having such an alive and active city is that it can be hard to schedule meetings that don't conflict with other events.
If you couldn't make this meeting, we hope to see you at the next.
We need positive people willing to stand up and take positive action. It's the only way we will fight back this growing negativity about our city.
Remember the Chinese proverb, "The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."

Interesting that in the Fox28 story, the reporter states that if you ask SB residents about the city the answers are 'There is alot of crime...need to do something about the homeless.".
Yet if you read the interviews in the SB Tribune lately everyone has answered that they feel safe in their neighborhood, and all but one want their children to live in South Bend.
This is truly an example of what this group is trying to fight. There is an assumption that our fair city is a hotbed of crime and violence yet when individuals are asked they rarely have had a problem.
It IS important for the residnets of SB to remember the good so as to have the inspiration to continue it. More bad is run out of town from good works overtaking them than from fear and threats.
