BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Broward resident Nadine McCrea is a prime example of what just one person can do to make a huge difference in the lives of others.  McCrea, and the Washington Park Community Enhancement Collaboration were the recipients of this week's Broward Good News recognition by County Commissioner Beam Furr.

McCrea first became active in her neighborhood when she noticed that children in her community had no activities and that elderly people voiced fear of leaving their homes.  To remedy the problem, she got the police department involved, established a neighborhood youth crime watch and a computer lab.  Eventually tutors came to help the children and elected officials assisted by exposing the young people to the workings of local government.  

Eventually, with the help of community volunteers, the Community Enhancement Collaboration was formed as a non-profit organization to promote health, civic and social interests while improving community pride and encouraging participation by residents resolved to help one another.
