Congratulations are in order for Mrs. Sandra Coles, President of the Greater Greenmount Community Association and recently appointed Quad 1 Representative of the Charles Village Community Benefits District. Mrs. Coles is a tireless advocate for her community and believes that all people share the same concerns about living in Baltimore City. She has fought for getting areas cleaned up, speaking recently with Representative Cummings in Annapolis and before the Planning Department about issues that are important to her community and the city in general.
She has been advised that she and her community association have won the first prize on a project, that we worked with her along with many volunteers on improving an empty lot, over grown with weeds and trash located at North Avenue and Greenmount Avenue. This project caught the eye of the Mayor who awarded her organization the first prize and a gift of $5,000. We have worked recently with Mrs. Coles on another project, after attending one meeting of the People's Homestead Group agreed to replace the roof of a local resident on Barclay Street. The air was ripe with enthusiasm at this meeting and we raised sufficient funding to have the roof replaced and the homeowner is now safe from the oncoming Sandy.
Mrs. Coles is a person that brings people together to ensure that things get done and we are proud to have been of some assistance to her. We are sure that Mrs. Coles will bring a great deal of ideas and presence to the CVCBD Board and it is hoped that they listen to some of her ideas so that they can improve their image in the communities that they are supposed to represent.
