Pride is a Powerful Weapon

There is no age limit when it comes to having a little Pride. The next generation giving back to his community with Pride and more than a photograph.

Congratulations Robby McAvoy! Robbys photo that he entered in the Pride of Manchester photography contest won the top prize!

Congratulations to a fine young man for not headlining the Police Blotter. Kudos to a family taking PRIDE in the community they have become a part of so quickly in the last couple of years. It is these moments that make me realize there is PRIDE in Manchester.

The news headlines and front page stories are filled with shootings - but there are shots being taken of another kind that tell another story. For one budding artist his weapon of choice is a camera. It is so very exciting to experience the world through the eyes of the next generation - to witness the PRIDE he shares with us.

As part of Pride in Manchester this year - a photography contest - a chance to be a part of something wonderful. Thank you to all those who entered and to all those who took the the time to put this together.

PRIDE is a contagious condition and is a powerful weapon in the battle to keep this the "City of Village Charm" - remember that when you have the urge to plant a flower, paint a fence or pick up a wrapper from the ground.
