Day 4, the part of the week when things start to take shape.

All week, I’ve been meeting with various people in the community to pick their brains about their lives in Wyandanch, the organizations they represent and the direction they see their community heading.

Last night, I attended a packed Excellence in Entrepreneurship meeting at the Wyandanch Senior Nutrition Center, where current and aspiring business owners absorbed all the knowledge the free course had to offer. What was interesting was that the theme of the night was about bettering a personal business, but the undercurrent was really about bettering the community.

Look for that story later today.

I’ve received a few emails over the last couple of days from residents who love Wyandanch and just wanted to contribute their thoughts. I’m going to try to catch up with a few of those people in person today and tomorrow.

If you have something to share, keep those emails coming. You can also reach me or track what I’m doing throughout the day by following me on Twitter.
