'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Wheeler Mission asks for your help
Excerpts from mail received from Rick Alvis, Exec. Dir. of Wheeler Mission...Fri, Aug 26, 2005 at 9:35 AM
Never in my career have I sent an email to everyone on my mailing list, but an important matter is coming before the City-County Council, and I need your help.
Several months ago, Wheeler Mission made an offer to purchase four acres of property at 2801 South Penn to build a new Women and Children's Center, pending proper zoning. Our zoning request went before the Department of Metropolitan Development and was passed by a vote of 4-3. That vote now has to be ratified by the City-County Council. Dane Mahern, who is the Councilor of the district in which this site resides, has decided to oppose the rezoning. Wheeler has met several times with Dane and his constituents, but both parties failed to come an agreement on the number of women to be served at the site.
The petition must now go before the full Council to affirm or deny rezoning. This important meeting is scheduled to take place this Monday, August 29.
Council members have only heard from the remonstrators. They have not heard much from our donors or people supporting this project. This is where you come in.
My request to you is to pick up the phone immediately and call any--and every--member of the Council you know to request that they support the rezoning. There is no need to call the Mayor's office, as the Mayor supports the project.
