PROJECT "PEACE OF MIND".




GAS DRIVEN PORTABLE GENERATOR

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, MY WIFE ANN AND I HAPPENED TO MEET, AND HAVE CONVERSATION WITH, STEVE BURKER. HE IS THE GENTLEMAN WHO CAME FORWARD IN 2011 AND BECAME CHAIRMAN OF THE "COPLAY COMMUNITY DAYS COMMITTEE".  STEVE'S ENTREPRENEURSHIP ALONG WITH HIS NEW AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO THE EVENT, WORKING WITH HIS COMMITTEE MEMBERS, SAVED THE WEEKEND FROM DISASTER DESPITE THE MOST AWFUL WEATHER SITUATION EVER WITNESSED DURING THE ALMOST 30 YEARS OF THE EVENT'S HISTORY.  HIS OUTREACH ATTITUDE TO THE WHOLE LEHIGH VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD RESULTED IN THEIR AVOIDING FINANCIAL DISASTER.  HE IS BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR AND PROMISES TO WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE TO BRING THE MEMORABLE EVENT TO NEW HEIGHTS OF ENTERTAINMENT AND ENJOYMENT FOR ALL WHO ATTEND.  A FULL, TENTATIVE SCHEDULE AND/OR AGENDA WILL BE PUBLISHED SOMETIME IN MAY AND WE PROMISE TO PUBLISH IT HERE ON THE OUR BLOG.  THE  OTHER ITEM DISCUSSED WAS THAT AT THE TIME OF THE CELEBRATION, A SECTION OF THE WEST END OF COPLAY EXPERIENCED A POWER OUTAGE THAT LASTED FOR DAYS. STEVE SAID HE TRIED TO REACH OUT FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE (HIS HOME WAS AFFECTED) FOR THE AREA INVOLVED, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING AVAILABLE AND BECAUSE OF THIS, HE CAME UP WITH A SUGGESTION WORTH CONSIDERATION.  THAT IS WHY THERE IS A PICTURE OF A PORTABLE GENERATOR AT THE OPENING OF THIS POSTING.

HE CAME UP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF COMPILING A LIST OF AVAILABLE GENERATORS THAT ARE PRIVATELY OWNED, BUT WHOSE OWNERS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO BE USED DURING THE OCCURRENCE OF A POWER OUTAGE, BY SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE.  MUCH WOULD HAVE TO BE DISCUSSED TO BRING THIS TO FRUITION.  FOR INSTANCE; GENERATOR OWNERS AFFECTED WOULD USE THEIR OWN, DISCLAIMERS WOULD HAVE TO BE FORMULATED AND SIGNED BY ANY USER OF SOMEONE 'S EQUIPMENT, WHO WOULD GET FIRST CHOICE FOR A GENERATOR USE IF THERE  WASN'T A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT TO COVER THE AREA AFFECTED, ETC., ETC.  ANOTHER PART OF THE LIST COULD BE THOSE FOLKS THAT MIGHT HAVE EXTRA FREEZER SPACE TO ASSIST SOMEONE UNTIL THE SITUATION IS RECTIFIED.  STEVE AGREED TO A COLLABORATIVE TEAM EFFORT BY COPLAY CRIME WATCH TO WORK ON THIS PROJECT.  AS REFLECTED BY HIS OUTREACH ATTITUDE WHICH HE HAD AS THE CHAIRMAN OF "COPLAY COMMUNITY DAYS", HE EVEN THOUGHT THAT THIS PROJECT OF"NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS" COULD BE EXTENDED TO OUR FRIENDLY NEARBY COMMUNITIES.  I HEARTILY APPLAUD WHAT THIS GENTLEMAN ESPOUSES.  WE BELIEVE IT IS WHAT WILL MAKE A SUCCESS OF ANYTHING HE IS INVOLVED IN.  IF ANY OF YOU THAT READ THIS HAVE A GENERATOR AND WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US IN THIS VENTURE, PLEASE CONTACT STEVE BURKER AT 610-703-8487 0R CALL US HERE AT 610-262-0802.  A COMMITTEE WILL BE FORMED TO WORK OUT ALL OF THE DETAILS NECESSARY TO SET THE PLAN IN MOTION.  PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND PASS THIS INFO ON TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS AND TO ANY FOLKS IN VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN WHICH YOU MIGHT BE A MEMBER.  LET'S ALL HELP STEVE TO HELP ONE ANOTHER AND AS STEVE SAYS, "GIVE EACH OTHER PEACE OF MIND". 

GOD BLESS,
F AND A D.
