“Please RSVP whether you can or cannot make it! If you want info but can’t make it, there’s a place to fill out that info.

“Here’s a brief overview of what we’re up to:

*what we’re doing
>>>Connecting people, place and purpose.

*how we’re doing it
>>> Engaging groups in collaborative and participatory processes to harness the power of creative intelligence.

*why we’re doing it
>>> Enabling people to better understand the value of their ideas, experience and skills in the context of community.

“This is an exciting opportunity and we’re excited to tell you more about it, and see if you are interested in being a member. There’s a lot of ways to be involved.
