Reservoir Hill Improvement Council annual meeting

This year's RHIC was held last night in the fellowship hall of the Beth Am synagogue one block north of RHHP. It was a well attended affair with numerous awards handed out to people who have contributed to the improvement of Reservoir Hill. Many were individuals who have lived and worked in the neighborhood for many years. The group of neighbors who started the Whitelock Community Farm were also honored. Others were partners from the city departments, John Howard Eager School and community center. The mayor sent an assistant on her behalf. It made me realize how many pairs of hands it takes to make a neighborhood a good place to live in. Father Tom was honored and his retirement from the ST Francis Center was recognized. Here is a snap shot of Fr. Tom accepting his award.
