On a separate piece of paper, tell us what citizen participation means to you and what skills, strengths, or knowledge you would bring to the Community Council.  Please type and provide statements less than 100 words.  This is going to be printed in the Park Bugle and is your chance to tell the neighborhood about yourself.  If your statement is longer than 100 words, it will be cut off at the 101th word – we will not edit!  If you want to prepare a longer answer, you may do so, and we will print the full statement on our website. 

 We will be taking photos of each candidate at times that will be scheduled – please do not enclose a photo.  Turn in your filing statement to the St. Anthony Park Community Council, 890 Cromwell Avenue, by Monday, March 12, 2012 no later than 12:00 p.m.
