the Council of South Side Advancement Associations.

neighborhood through his involvement in several community

St. Veronica's Parish. His involvement in these organizations 
demonstrates his desire to help his fellow neighbor in any way he can.
  Jim Gilmore has clearly set an example for our entire community. I 
join the Council of South Side Advancement Associations in commending 
him on his outstanding dedication to the south side of Milwaukee, and I 
congratulate him on being named one of the 1997 Persons of the Year.
