Brian Rehrig -- Lobel Well Prepared

Thursday, March 9, 2007 - Updated: 09:00 AM EDT

Josh Lobel has spent years volunteering his time and talents in support of our schools, helping to identify opportunities, find creative solutions to problems, and build consensus to implement those solutions. In doing so, he has equipped himself with a deep understanding of our schools and the community they serve. His consistent and dedicated engagement with teachers, administrators and students over many years has given him a close-up view of the challenges we face, and a perspective on how to bring our Town together in support of its schools.

Josh Lobel is well prepared for the hard work of serving as a member of the School Committee, and I'm grateful that he is willing to take on the challenge. Please join me in supporting Josh on April 14th.

" Most importantly, Josh Lobel lives what he speaks. You do not have the "private Josh" and the "public Josh," he is himself always. He is true to himself, true to his values, true to his family and true to his commitments." Neda Joury

" Josh knows Arlington well and his civic activities, both as a longtime school volunteer and Town Meeting member, demonstrate an outstanding record of commitment. Those who have worked with him know that he has a truly distinctive consensus-building and problem-solving approach." Kate Bernhardt

" I'm voting for Josh because I support his vision for the Arlington schools, but also because I have witnessed Josh's capacity to calmly, quietly and effectively go into areas needing support and to simply solve the problem. " Pam Watts Flavin

" Josh and I have worked as volunteers over the past five years together on a myriad of school related fund raisers and committees. Whether serving on the science committee, organizing the Bishop Bear Fair, coordinating the school play, computerizing our school library or working together on the Arlington Technical Council, I have seen Josh dig in and get the job done. " Cindy Starks

" There are too many outside commitments distracting people with a great deal to offer the community. Josh Lobel, however, continues give himself to our community, and his enthusiasm and fresh ideas will allow him to contribute to the School Committee in a way that opens a world of possibilities for our children. He serves as a civic role model for us all, who better to lead our children?" Kevin Penders
