Community Networking: X2REP, Inc.
X2REP, Inc., a community-based youth group, comes to Annapolis
I’m a very big fan of being responsible to your community in a positive way. I think we, as a people, sometimes take for granted the institutions and professions that help maintain our quality of life. Most of us want to reside in a clean, safe, and peaceful environment. Such a place gives us time to raise a family, be a part of a larger group of families, and contribute to our the world family. In my former job as museum director of a historic house museum, the students of X2REP, Inc., supported us our efforts to get a state grant for restoration of the historic roof at Poplar Hill. The students spent the entire day with us in Annapolis, going from one budget hearing to the next and spoke on our behalf. We also took the time to tour the historic area, making a special visit to Kunte Kinte Memorial site. It was one of those times when you feel present in the moment, pleased at being involved in civic activities, while remembering how far we have come as Americans. It was a wonderful day.
