Oxford Junction, IA

 From the beginning – Community Conversations, LeadershipPlenty and now, quite often we hear, “I’ve never worked with (insert name) before, it’s great becoming acquainted”. The following is the point of view of one of these participants.

“Due to the Horizons involvement in Oxford Junction, at least one new individual has become more involved with the community. After being asked to attend a Horizons community meeting in September, 2007. This individual has become a co-vice president of the Oxford Junction Improvements, Inc. and has done a great deal of wordsmithing and getting needed 1023 information in electronic form which will be sent on to the IRS for request of the tax exempt status. This individual is rather unique to the demographics of Oxford Junction. Having lived in rural Oxford Junction for 8.5 years, the person is seldom seen in Oxford Junction as the individual works in Cedar Rapids, has no relatives in the area, but does enjoy helping at some of the community activities. This individual saw a need and set about filling it by using past experience and knowledge, not readily at the finger tips of other community members.”

Needless to say we “long-time” residents of Oxford Junction are overjoyed at the involvement of this individual.
