W“There were trips to thedoctor’s office, to church,trips to the bank and towork. And most importantlyto the grocery store becauseyou have to eat,” added thevolunteer coordinator. “So,there were trips that went allover and even beyond theboundaries of Perrysburg.”Mrs. Brown also recognizedCouncilman TomMackin for his service to thecommittee and GraceChurch and Pastor Ditto.“I think it is notable tosay one of the first people tostep up and offer to helpother residents was one ofyour own, CouncilmanMackin. I think he deservesto be recognized for that andwe appreciate him for doingthat,” she said. “I have torecognize Grace Churchbecause it was through theirgenerosity and their financialhelp that we were ableto have a dedicated phoneline that was put in just forthis program. And thatphone line was paid for byGrace Church–so theydeserve so much.”“So, I just want to say abig thank you to all the volunteersbecause withoutthem this would not have“Neighbors Helping Neighbors”The Go Perrysburg committee has arranged for votertransportation for those in need of rides to the polls onTuesday, May 7.The van will operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Call 419-931-4958 to schedule a ride in advance.Scheduling will be on a first come, first served basis.Please note that the van is not wheelchair accessible.happened.

Councilman ToddGrayson said with passageof the levy, Ride Rightwould start the process oflocating to Perrysburg.“On May 8, if it passes,Ride Right will start theprocess immediately of gettingeverything here,” hesaid. “It could be 60 days, itcould be 54 days, it could be39 days. But it is going totake time to hire drivers,find a facility and all thatother stuff you need.”Neighbors HelpingNeighbors volunteer, Ms.Edens, said she is shocked.“You have had five monthsto get ready.”Mayor Evans told thegroup that Ride Right willbe asked to start as soon aspossible but also explainedlevy collection does notbegin until 2014 and the citywill have to fund the gapperiod.“We understand there isa need out there. If the levypasses in May, you are notable to collect funds untilnext year,” said the mayor.“So basically what we arefunding is the period fromwhen Ride Right beginsW service until the end of theyear.
