MAN (Maintaining ANeighborhood)
is a group organized to encourage men to return to a place of
leadership in community policing, community pride, and community
provision. We accept and embrace the challenge to put the "Neighbor"
back into the "Hood" and make a "Neighborhood." In order to accomplish
this mission we have executed a 3 phase strategy.
The first phase,
(Presence), involves men in school patrols, foot patrols, and radio
patrols.
The second phase of our strategy is called, "The Return of Respect". We
believe that thought affects behavior, therefore in order to change
behavior we must change thought. Through the use of a media campaigns,
Respect Rallies, block parties, and RESPECT Gear we plan to saturate
communities with the message of kindness, unity, non - violence and of
course respect!
The
final phase of our strategy involves support for men, youth, and our
beloved seniors. At the Man Network we believe in "real" men not
"macho" men. Therefore we know that Men especially fathers and single
fathers need encouragement and support. To this end we have scheduled a
series of meetings designed to provide speakers, discussion groups and
other resources to help men be all that they can be. The mentorship
division of the Network is called, The Fellowship of Sons. We will not
attempt to reinvent the wheel but we will use our resources to bring
the best to our sons so that they will grow to be reverent, respectful,
responsible leaders. The Network will assist our seniors with the "Call
A MAN" program. Our volunteers will provide free lawn care, snow
removal, minor repair work, and transportation to our seniors at no
charge. Through the execution of these strategies and with the help of
Almighty God, we are determined that we will not be overcome by evil,
but we shall overcome evil with good.
