If you want to belong to the kind of community you like,
You need not slip your clothes in a grip
and start on a long hike;
For you will only find what you left behind,
for there is nothing new,
It's a knock at yourself when you knock your community,
It isn't the community, IT'S ME and IT'S YOU!
Real communities are not made by
men afraid someone else will get ahead,
When everyone works and no one shirks,
you can raise a community from the dead.
And if while you make your personal stake,
your neighbor can make his too.
Your community will be what you want it to be;
It isn't the community, IT'S ME and IT'S YOU!
Most people say their community folks are different,
or worse, but you and I know that is just not true!
It isn't the "unbusy" people, it's still the"movers & shakers" who make your community too!
Your community will be what you want it to be;
It isn't the community, IT'S STILL ME & YOU!!!
A poem contributed by our membership drive consultant Mr. Paul Oliver with Chamber of Commerce Consultants of Fort Worth, Texas.
It has been a great week for our membership drive. At the time I am writing this, we are close to 100 new members and well on our way toward reaching our goal! By the time most of you read this newsletter, the drive will be over and I hope I can report to you in the next correspondence that we have surpassed our goal and collected many new members who are eager to make their investment in the chamber and be involved in creating a better Jones County!
