Why should people outside the core area participate as members?
Preserving the downtown area of a city is the responsibility of all citizens of the community, not just a few. Several public buildings, which all citizens are privileged to use, are located in this area, i.e.. the post office, library, civic center, a school, several churches, historic homes and buildings, etc. The downtown area is where our city began many years ago. It is necessary to preserve it because this area of our city cannot and should not be replaced in any other area in any other way.
