Why do you...Nice to hear from you again, Kimberly. Why do you suppose news organizations so frequently make factual errors about stories involving Hill District organizations?<BR/><BR/>Did you really say *the majority* of groups in One Hill did not sign the CBA? Where I come from, they call that a "no vote" or a "failure to pass". If the majority of One Hill really didn't sign on and the other, rival, whatever you want to call it group in the Hill didn't sign on, what were we celebrating a couple months ago? What was that signing ceremony all about? Please tell me you were exaggerating.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-44661959844654544042008-09-30T01:48:00.000-04:002008-09-30T01:48:00.000-04:00Hey Bram,Lots to say here but I'll have to refrain...Hey Bram,<BR/><BR/>Lots to say here but I'll have to refrain for the moment (not enough time). But for the record:<BR/><BR/>1. It's Dr. Nelson Harrison<BR/><BR/>2. The Conference is / was entitled "Build the Hill". I could never see myself creating or being an organizer of a "Heroes of the Hill" Conference. LOL. As for the awards, Community members nominated other Community members who are often times "unsung heroes" in the community and whose names are not well-known at all.<BR/><BR/>3. The CBA is limited in its capacity, good start or not. The problem is, CBA's were not created to produce "a good start". They were created to produce real results. There's a real reason why the majority of the groups in One Hill *and* many of us outside of it knew not to sign that CBA.<BR/><BR/>4. The creators of the Build the Hill Conference were the young people involved in these affairs who wanted to create our own vision for how to "Build the Hill". There are ministers and others who have supported but it was our event to create. We did it and it was a wonderful success with much more to come.Raise Your Hand!
