The story began with a Florida Today  newspaper article dated December 28th, 2006, gangs and violence are two issues that plague the citizens of the south Melbourne community.  In response to that disturbing headline,  at that time the District 3  Brevard County Commissioner Helen Voltz worked with  the Melbourne Police Community Relations Council Ad-Hoc Committee which consists Yvonne Minus, Leonard Ross, Carl Finerson, James Minus, Joseph McNeil, Bennie Hopkins Sr., City Commissioner for District 3 Kathy Meehan, Jan Conrad, were a grassroots group of committed community leaders determined to impact change.  Over many months, they gathered frequently to discuss strategies and sought answers in a collective effort to eradicate the root causes of violence and drugs that was cancerous to our young people.
