The POWER of ONE

Each one of us have a ability to effect change. When we say, "Oh I can't do that" or "Let someone else who is more capable do it" we are forfeiting our God given rights and responsibilities:

To help ourselves and receive the satisfaction that we CAN make a difference in our own lives
To help others. By helping ourselves solve problems in our parks, we are directly enabling others with similar problems to find a solutions

Remember, we are all together in this. Get on the phone and call PRHO to see how you can help. Phone your state legislators, tell them of your concerns regarding the tax legislation being discussed in Albany right now. Call the DHCR with your complaints.

The power of ONE rests with YOU!
