Tempe Community Council

Feb 4 - Kate Hanley, Executive Director, Tempe Community Council, gave us an overview of the programs supported by the Council.  The Council was created 45 years ago to act as an advisory group to Tempe's elected officials.  They focus on planning, service distribution, and gathering statistics on the many projects that are underway. They are a quasi non-profit, in that the city pays for the Council's staff. Their basic goal is to connect those in need with those who care. Kate told us about their H2O program to ask citizens to contribute a dollar a month when they pay their water bill; this has been a very successful program. She also described their Cinderella Affair store as well as several other service programs. Tempe is a leader in the state with respect to their multitude of service projects supported by the Tempe City Council.  They are always looking for volunteers - CLICK HERE  to  check out their web site.
