They truly believe in community spirit and helpng families out. When you think about it to us locals this was a large part of our family and always will be. I find it sad that it would only be a passive recreation park when it could again be so much more. This would also provide local jobs and bring lots of business back to the town. I bet that if enough people took it seerious and placed a foot forward we could make it happen. Here is a application form link from Extreme Makeover <a href="http://a.abc.com/media/primetime/xtremehome/apply/EMHEApplicationS7.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://a.abc.com/media/primeti...</a> <br>They work off suggestion and attention. Think of what this would do for Hudson and for ABC to be a part of it. Im sure they would want Mr Provencher as a consultant and I am sure that would thrill him to no end. Spread this around as far and wide as you can, dont be the one to say "imagine if it could happen", be the one to say "I knew we could do it"! Think about what it meant to have kids up and out of the house with you doing something enjoyable as a family and not stuck on the computer looking like vampires from the lack of day light.. Drawing attention to this would be the thing to do here as that will help round up donations and volunteer support. Just picture this dream becoming a reality and being a part of it and history and not just talking about it! I know personally I would do what ever I could to help see it through... It sounds to me that this is the popular opinion of so many, what are we waiting for? Everyone knows someone interested, when is the last time you were heard?? Quite interesting to ponder isn't it. mrtcjg@aol.commrtcjgTue, 07 Jul 2009 09:15:26 -0000
