Candidate Statements

Judi Galardi

I will call 911 if I am physically assaulted in any way at any more meetings. I suggest if anyone else has the same problem that they do the same. There is no place for violence.

When I suggested that we provide computers for needy people here, Bethlynn helped to get Penguins-Care involved with Dave Sevick, I also encouraged Johnny Q at Goodwill Computer store to help and people at EECM (East End Cooperative Ministries). I represent Penguins-Care at the Homeless Children's Fund (which connected us with Hearth and other women's/family shelters). I plan events keeping in mind that people need walking, driving/parking and/or bus transportation directions and we need a private room w/ wireless (usually). I did a lot to plan the picnic and look forward to planning other meetings and events.

I am not a technical person--I mostly worked with open office. I am not interested in being treasurer or anything else. Director at large where I belong. I find places where we can help or get new people to join us. I also try to find other outlets to make people aware of what we do.

Thank you.
