Here We Go!

After two years of studying together, of sharing with each other, of learning to know each other better, we are on the doorstep of Cutler Bay.

All along, we have said that our goal, in whatever community God led us, will be to serve, to give. And now we're getting acquainted with Cutler Bay because we need to know our community so we can serve in ways that are helpful to them, not just in ways that we think are helpful.

Some of us attended the Concerned Citizens of Cutler Bay meeting, where we listened and took notes on the issues the people talked about. Although the main speaker was a town councilman, the audience didn't stay silent. They asked questions, gave their opinions on everything from proposed lighting for a park area to suggested use for some large tracts of land.

Our get-acquainted process will continue with surveys of residents we meet, to find out what they think are the key issues in the newly created town (about two years old) and what topics are important to them.

It's an adventure because we can't predict what the next day will bring, but it's a serious adventure with meaningful consequences.

Here are two people we met at the meeting and the contact information for them:

Vice Mayor Edward P. MacDouglall--Phone 305-234-4262. Email: emacdougall@cutlerbay-fl.gov

Councilmember Timothy J. Meerbott--Phone 305-234-4262. Email: tmeerbott@cutlerbay-fl.gov
