Several years ago, Elnora Yarborough saw a problem in her community and took action to solve it. She started alone, but before long she got the neighbors involved in her efforts to get a school bus to come through her community. The organization has grown to include eleven chapters in seven counties.
Members work on many different issues, including health care, transportation, and schools.
Ninety people showed up for the first meeting of the West Madison chapter. I guess I ll start off saying that I learned how to stand on my two feet from a school event. We had five children. During the time when they all started school, we lived on a blacktopped road and the bus was coming through. And then we bought and built on a dirt road.
