Coming Soon-Rhineland and Truscott
Our neighbors were invited to come out, get acquainted and learn what we are doing and what they can do to help. We wanted folks to see this as neighbors working together, not some “expert” we brought in here who’s going to try and tell us what we need and what to do! A sure recipe for disaster! These get-togethers were an opportunity to introduce our first Community Support Events! These events WERE also a great opportunity for us to meet new folks, introduce our Visioning Team and LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN.

About 90 people attended. Every single person who came had thoughts, ideas, suggestions and/or concerns and weren’t shy about expressing them. What I really loved was listening in on the conversations that were going on between other members of the Visioning Team and our guests. I think the “parties” allowed folks to talk about subjects they wouldn’t have brought up in another context, like just meeting at lunch or on the street or at a ballgame, giving them a venue for serious concern and goal sharing.
