She hoped I would not discourage others from donating their time or money.<BR/><BR/>Translation:<BR/><BR/>"People might think we're snobs. They might be right."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing.David Moisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246027784687332011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830110581332031974.post-52732893878732476222009-01-16T14:17:00.000-05:002009-01-16T14:17:00.000-05:00Why on earth does the Salem Common Neighborhood As...Why on earth does the Salem Common Neighborhood Association have veto power over this? It's not their Common, it's OUR Common. I lived in their domain for a year and found them a miserable bunch, so I moved into the Derby Street Neighborhood. My walk to the Common is shorter than it was before. Maybe HDSNA should get veto power too. What a joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
