Who is sponsoring ...?
Submitted by libby on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 9:40am.When I first read this, my immediate question was which group or individual(s) is organizing this event and why is that information not provided in the announcement. Then I found the exact same announcement on a local listserve which concluded with this statement: "Terry Zander has organized this to serve the community."
Just seems worth mentioning for those who, like me, were wondering.
Community Dialogue
Submitted by Bert on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 1:12pm.Thanks to Tezzer1 for putting this on. I am curious to know whether this will be the opening chapter in a longer, deeper, richer dialogue about community issues - issues which affect us all.
90 minutes might be adequate time for familiarizing participants with the basic dialogue format, for opening the dialogue, and to set up a next meeting time. Needless to say I am interested!
Yet another splinter group!
