At the time I was a volunteer for the Urban League Young Professionals, and through some folks at the Urban League Young Professionals, we definitely saw a need for this in the West Philadelphia area. They were mostly from the Urban League Young Professional Group and some individuals who were just friends. There was a friend of mine, who I remember sort of pulling her arm and making her come because it's just easier to handle when you have some support. The membership is constantly changing . It's a volunteer organization.
People come and go.
I am intimately involved in my neighborhood association, which is the Garden Court Community Association, and I'm on the board. I also participate in a mentor program here through the Center for Community Partnerships. I'm also involved with my church. I don't hold a position there. There's a women's ministry that we have and Bible study that I attend Wednesday night, and Sunday school.
