I wanted to make new friends here in Anaheim, and I was depressed, so I joined Kiwanis, and it was a lot of fun, and we changed our city.
Police Chief John Welter was my friend from Kiwanis, and the Anaheim Police Department told us where the worst neighborhood in Anaheim was, we asked them where the highest crime-rates were, and then we went into the worst neighborhood in Anaheim and we went knocking on the doors of the people in the neighborhood, and we invited the people to come help us paint over the graffiti in the neighborhood, and we gave everyone a list of the names and contact information for the owners of the apartment complexes, etc.
Well, it worked, we saved the neighborhood, it became a nice neighborhood and it is still nice.
The neighborhood might not have accepted the police department, but an old long haired guy like me the people liked. The people loved me.
Anyhow, we saved the neighborhood, and it is still nice.
Kiwanis is great, if you get lonely and depressed then join Kiwanis, you can help to change lives.
Salute,
Tony V.
