Request for Help With an Important Study

September 13, 2013

Dear Nonprofit Leader,
As you are probably aware, open government efforts have made more information available online for use by citizens, organizations and communities. If that information is useful, it is worth the investment. If it is not useful or is too difficult to use, then changes need to be made. We are hoping that the information we gather can be used to make the open government effort more successful. Your response to this questionnaire will help us learn more about how nonprofit organizations in Delaware use information provided by state and federal government transparency websites.
Your organization was selected because you are involved in the policy process in Delaware. We selected organizations that reported to the State Public Integrity Commission that employ a lobbyist to represent you. This suggests that you are involved in the policy process and are in a good position to appreciate the potential of these information sources and to know how well the sources are fulfilling their potential.
This questionnaire is confidential and we will only release the information gathered in sets of figures where an individual response would be impossible to identify. Participation is completely voluntary.

Lynam House at the Smithsonian

Lynam Log House, as it was being disassembled in 1958

The Lynam Log HouseLynam House at the SmithsonianAs you can plainly see by reading the pages of this blog -- or, if you want to shell out the big bucks, by actually driving around -- there are many historic houses all around Mill Creek Hundred. Probably far more than most people realize. But, did you know there is one historic MCH house not in MCH? For most of forty years*, the Lynam Log House was on display to the world at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, in exhibits about the early years of the country. Its significance to the nation laid in its archetypal form for the era. Its significance for us, in addition to that, lies in its connections to several of the oldest families in the state, as well as a brief but important link to one of the most prominent in the area. ..........

WESTERN REGIONAL COMMUNITY MEETING

The New Castle County Department of Public Safety and the Office of Community Governing will begin holding Regional community meetings to discuss the County’s predictive policing, storm preparation, code enforcement and constituent services. The County has been divided into five districts and each district will have quarterly regional meetings. (See attachment for county regional boundaries) Civic and community members will be invited to attend these meetings.

In an effort to consolidate the number of meetings the New Castle County Police Community Services Unit (CSU) attends, we will be an integral part of these meetings.   Your CSU district officer will still be available to provide crime stats and important information such as crime trends in your areas through emails and phone calls. Your CSU district officer will attend meetings upon request through S/Sgt. Karen Messner. This approach will give these officers more time to provide preventative programs to the citizens of New Castle County as well as specifically address repetitive issues in a particular area.

Attached you will find an invitation to your regional meeting as well as important phone numbers to pass out to the members of your community.

If you have any questions, please contact S/Sgt. Messner.

Sincerely,
