Do we know more about poverty and leadership in Tyndall?
In answering the blog questions for November one can see evidence of the new knowledge of the different faces of poverty in our town…it is also important to note that many of our residents who may qualify as “being in poverty” may not think they are because they are comfortable and have figured out how to maintain things with the services that are already in place in our town, such as an excellent Social Services services ( food stamps and WIC ) and the excellent organization of the food pantry which is run by volunteers. One example of how we know that the community is more aware, is the new column in the Tyndall Tribune that has been started from the Dakota Senior Meals director. Since Horizons started, she has been writing excellent articles on issues that is of concern to our elderly and to the residents in Tyndall. ( She attended LeadershipPlenty ) How has leadership changed ?One example is of the volunteers that have come forward to help at the Cavalier Corner and also at the new Bargain Shoppe. The President of the Shoppe board said they recently made a sizable deposit in the account-yay!!! All because of the volunteers, good organization , and leadership.
