<br />SPRING CLEAN UP AHEAD
<br />
<br />Upon waking up the other day I hear a rumor to the
<br />effect the Robins are coming. It was hard for me to
<br />believe when I looked outside and saw it snowing one
<br />more time. Of course, with the Robins come spring
<br />and with spring come the annual "spring clean up."
<br />When the snow begins to disappear it will uncover
<br />an assortment of surprises and" goodies". Everyone
<br />should be planning their annual "spring clean up" to
<br />make Ramsey an even more desirable place to live.
<br />Taking pride in our property is a community
<br />betterment project and we all know Ramsey is one of
<br />the finest communities around to live in. LET'S ALL
<br />WORK TO HELP KEEP IT THAT WAY.
<br />
<br />I, ME, YOU, HE, SHE, HIM, HER,
<br />All are terms to describe one
<br />person--
<br />US, WE, THEY, THEM, OUR
<br />All are terms to describe two or
<br />more pesons--
<br />
<br />The key term is person - one person is the
<br />common denominator to describe all these
<br />adjectives. One person with an idea, desire
<br />or need - finding out that other people feel
<br />the same - becomes two or more persons.
<br />These people working together toward a
<br />common goal make their ideas, desires and
<br />needs become a reality. That reality is what
<br />makes our City, State and Nation what it is
<br />or could be.
<br />You may say to yourself, I'm only one
<br />person. History has shown us that
<br />everything that has ever happened in this
<br />world started with one person. Have you
<br />ever been in a room with ten people who all
<br />had the same thought at the same time and
<br />spoke up exactly in unison. No way. One
<br />person said - "Hey, I'd like to see this
<br />happen" or "This friend of mine has a
<br />problem with this." Next thing you know,
<br />someone else has a similar feeling or
<br />knows of someone else who has that type
<br />of problem. An idea is born.
<br />That idea is developed and cultivated,
<br />then begins to grow. Within a period of time
<br />that idea becomes a reality--it may be
<br />.helping one person, a City, a State or a
<br />Nation. It all depends on what magnitude
<br />the idea might have. An elderly couple who
<br />needs help with painting their home will not
<br />have national impact, nor will a national
<br />campaign for MS or MD help get the elderly
<br />couples home painted. Each idea or project
<br />has importance and each started with one
<br />person.
<br />That one person is who I am directing
<br />this article towa.rd. That one person who
<br />has an idea, desire or need. I am offering
<br />you the opportunity to change that idea,
<br />desire or need into reality.
<br />You might say, I'm just too busy..1 don't

<br />
<br />have the time. I have an excuse for not
<br />doing. But who is the one person. I-that can
<br />take a little time-forget the excuses and
<br />beome the person to say.l-did this or-I-had
<br />that idea or most important-I-feel good
<br />about myself for helping others.
<br />The Ramsey Jaycl:les are looking for
<br />more-i-people in the community-people with
<br />ideas, desires or needs. People who want to
<br />make them into reality. We don't guarantee

<br />our goals - Objectives and have a greater
<br />impact on our community. Call any of the
