A phrase I hadn’t thought of for awhile “No man is an island” came to mind as I was thinking about the successes of Fox Cities Greenways. Our successes were enhanced through alliances with other groups. Our alliance with the local YMCA improves our efforts with Activate Fox Cities, a healthy-lifestyle program. Our partnering with Friends of the Fox helps both of us succeed in developing a water trail on the Fox River. Our work in conjunction with East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission makes our Safe Routes to School project much more effective, and East Central Planning makes us look good and function well because of the maps and technical support they provide us. In addition, we help make them look good in the eyes of their funding sources, the local counties and municipalities.
Sure, we could do things by ourselves and take all the glory, but things would not happen as quickly or easily. There is more than enough credit to go around, and that’s fine with us.
This is Dave Muench, President of Fox Cities Greenways, and this is our Fox Cities Viewpoint.
