Richard is trying to institute, in neighborhood boards and councils, a place for the block leaders to fit into the total concept of each neighborhood's future plans. "We are trying to tie all of the neighborhood councils more tightly together, for everyone's good. We hold meetings with other block leaders from other areas to find out what their problems are and we discuss them. If someone has a solution that has worked in their council, it is offered as advice," said Richard. As it stands, Schaewe is a very devoted, ambitious Block Leader Superviser, and has done a fine job of organizing the present People's Freeway Block Leader program. He sees personal contact as crucial in solving neighborhood problems. He feels the Block Leader program can more effectively dissiminate information to residents on available services and resources in the community and provide a channel of communication between the residents, agencies and local government.
