Let us continue to put our minds and work together to help the neighborhoods of West Louisville achieve their greatness within! May the people seize the time and opportunity to reach within ourselves, rediscover our purpose, re-invent ourselves where necessary and use their time and talents to help the people and build the neighborhoods.
