Tuesday, May 27th 10am-2pm in Nazareth, TX
The school year is about to end, and though we are almost half way through 2008, it is an opportune time to assess and prioritize for our Red River Regional Cluster of communities and counties, as we work collaboratively to build our key capacities.
Several events were very successful for our Regional Cluster in the past 8 months (the Sept. Youth Engagement Day in Hart, the Youth Entrepreneur Fair in Nazareth, Business Fairs in Tulia and Nazareth, and LIFT Leadership Training in Castro and Swisher Counties).
How can we build on those successes, and plan events over the next 8-12 months that will create greater participation and buy-in…in ways that will meet the greatest needs we see in our communities…and that will build on the strengths that we already have? Let’s bring together core leaders from our hometowns, so that we can plan together to “get more of our arrows moving in the same direction”!
