These Are the People in My Neighborhood

If you are like me, when you saw the heading of this week's list you immediately started singing the Sesame Street song "These Are the People in Your Neighborhood".  So this week, I am sharing stories of community helpers and workers.  Here are a few of my favorites . . . .
