This week I was pleased to participate in the Opening of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Pimlico Road Arts and Community Center. I was very touched to learn that a room in the Community Center was named for my father Pete Rawlings. When he secured a $1 million bond for this center in the House of Delegates, I know that he never expected recognition. Dad always taught me that public service isn’t about you, it’s about the people you serve. But I know Dad would be very happy to see this project come to fruition. As doors open in this Arts and Community Center, so too will doors be opened for the residents of Park Heights and the young people who yearn for the culture and recreation opportunities offered by the Center. This is only the beginning: Mayor Dixon and I are committed to further expansion of community centers, after-school activities, and other youth initiatives. We will transform our City block by block so that no neighborhood is left behind.
