Last Friday representatives from six different organizations with a stake in downtown met to take a full inventory of all of the other organizations associated with downtown and to discuss how all of these organizations might work together for the common good of our city’s core. The general impetus for the meeting was a recent surge in the number of organizations sprouting up in our community – each one to stake claim to their individual downtown-related causes.

Yeah, let's keep it

for Friday at noon.

At least for now.

Do we need to check with Olympia Coffee Roasters Guys to see if we can use their room again??

Terry is out of town but I

Terry is out of town but I suspect using the cafe (which I assume is what you are talking about) is just fine with everybody.

Unfortunately, the time doesn't work for me

(Friends of the Waterfront's meetings are at exactly the same time... Talk about a demonstration of how many overlapping groups are thinking about this.)

Unless you're going to put out minutes each week, maybe I'll try to stop by einmaleins and get an update...

Best,
Thad

Thad,

.. I'm sorry. We didn't purposely plan this meeting to overlap with the "Friends..." meeting.

We met last week at this time and day and just scheduled for the same time again.

Are the "friends" meeting weekly at this time and day, if so we will move ours in the future.

Also, the idea for our meeting is to create a bigger, regular, all-welcome meeting to discuss visions for downtown. So we're in the early stages of setting things up here.

I look forward to meeting you at einmaleins and we can share some thoughts.
