Requests!: Please Tell The Mansion Residents About Your Town

by Jon Katz

The Mansion residents love the “My Town” messages you have been sending them, and want to put up some new bulletin boards after they return to the building, they love looking at the texts and photos of the towns where you live.

I’ll get the bulletin boards.

This is a great joy to them, they get to see where all these mysterious Army Of Good people live, and your messages filled two bulletin boards before they were taken down in the flooding. Every time I came into the building (before the flooding), I see them starting at the photos and messages and looking to see where your towns are on the big maps.

The residents and Activity Director Julia Harlin have all pleaded with me to ask you to send more.

They are looking for photos of your town or three to five paragraph descriptions of your town. They want to know something about where you live.

These messages and images will be integrated by different color push pins into giant maps going up on the bulletin boards. The red dots of the Army Of Good will show up all across the country, since the Army Of Good is everywhere.

These messages are so important to the residents. It takes them out of their selves and into the lives of people they know care about them, even if they will never see them. It might seem like a small thing to us, but it is a big thing to them.

If you can, please welcome the displaced residents back with some images and text about Your Town. You can e-mail them directly to Julia – [email protected], or you can mail them to Julia, Our Town, 11 S. Union Avenue, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816. Thanks so much.
