Profile Information
- What is your interest in the Creative Arlington beta community?
- Want to learn more about it - looks like a progressive, grass-roots organization. Hoping to address issues of affordable housing, homelessness and healthcare for the uninsured in my community. Education for all, and addressing the gaps in education and spending priorities is also an interest. I enjoy speaking with creative people!
- How do you or would like to use your imagination and original ideas to enrich the economy and culture in Arlington, and beyond?
- I am volunteering time to aiding in the affordable housing and homelessness efforts. Always interested in hearing from creative people who may have a different idea about how to solve these problems. Having lived here 20 years, having met people through my community, kids and volunteer work, I like to connect people who may have similar interests or are in complementary lines of work. Have an idea to start a community organization that I am working through with another Arlington resident.
