[quote="Guest"]Dear Concerned,

I know of no TC member being ostracized. That's extremely harsh. However, becoming a TC member you will run the risk of being criticized. That unfortunately is part of adding yourself to the political process - democrats and republican. Just think of how many time you might have criticized our own Governor about not wearing his seatbelt or talk about our President going into Iraq. That's not saying they are bad men - only bad decisions.

To my knowledge, there have been no untruthful or hateful remarks about anyone in our town. Only concerns, questions, and exchanges of ideas. With every opinion there will be an opposite. It's it great to live in a country with freedom of speech.

AND Yes, the TC needs a pat on the back ever once in awhile - but they also need our help and input. Without it they will not know what's on our minds. Let's face it, hardly anyone shows up at the township meetings. So, the TC goes on their Merry Way and votes and makes decisions without input. Not necessarily their fault unless it is a closed session. But, there is hope for us yet - If you were at the COAH meeting - what an exciting turnout.

As far as a Finance Committee - I am a past board member of Big Brothers Big Sister of Long Island; Having a Finance Committee was and is an important part of the overall longterm plan. Even when local, state, and federal funds were being seriously cut - this finance committee always managed to find ways to raise the funds needed by being extremely creative. By presenting short-term, interm, and long-term ideas to the board for approval. This visionary finance committee helped this small nonprofit to expand from Nassau County and finally consolidate with the failing Suffolk County Branch to become Big Brothers Big Sister of Long Island. Granted, this did not happen overnight.

I'm not sure what might have happened if all the financial ideas only came from the board; but I do know exchanging ideas is the start to the keys to success.

Anyway, Don't be fearful about volunteering or saying your peace - You don't have to be in the public eye to help our town - join one of the committees or help jump start a think-tank financial club. Use your talents for the betterment of Cranbury.

Don't forget - We are all neighbors and respect everyone's truthful opinions no matter how harsh.[/quote]
