A message from Fairmount CDC:

Dear Fairmount Neighbor,

Like you, we are committed to creating the best possible environment for our community. As part of our evaluation of community projects we are conducting a survey to gain greater insight into the thoughts of the many people that have a vested interest in the Fairmount area. We would like to know how you perceive the community now, as well as what you think is important for moving forward.

You have been invited to take this survey as part of a select group. Because we are asking only a small number to fill out the survey, we are hoping for as many responses as possible, so please take a moment to complete this survey TODAY. We ask that you complete the survey by  March 10, 2010.

Here is a link to the survey:

This link is uniquely tied to this survey and your email address. Please do not forward this message.

Your thoughtful responses will help us better understand where we have succeeded in the past and where we need to focus for even greater success in the future. Please note, that all responses are completely confidential, and no one will have knowledge to who answered any of the questions.

We greatly appreciate you taking the time to participate in this important effort! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you might have.

Sincerely,

Fairmount CDC
