General statement: In 2013 and 2014 I became more associated with the needs for greater community support at the Housing Authority when my son did his Eagle Scout project there. Since then I have gotten to know several of the residents and realize this community needs greater advocacy for services.

I hope to be able to network and outreach within the regional community to serve these community neighbors with better enhancements through coordinating volunteer service projects, opportunities for better access to transportation and creating fun events. Many of these residents who reside within the residences of the Hopkinton Housing Authority first served us and our country. Supporting them and their neighborhood needs seems a good way to give back to this community.
