Meeting tomorrow and conference next week

Just a reminder that the steering committee has a meeting tomorrow, Thursday, June 4th, at the Lancaster Community Library at 8:30 am.

The invitation or confirmation letters for the Visions Conference: Building Community Assets to Reduce Poverty went out on Friday evening. We are getting an excellent response and it looks like we will have about 50 people participating in this important conversation on ways we can reduce poverty in the Northern Neck of Virginia. As a point of clarification, the agenda that went out with the mailing included "open space conversations" from 3:00 to 5:00. These conversations are optional, with people who would like to continue invited to participate. The meeting begins at 8:00 am with a continental breakfast and includes lunch. Jean Burkhardt, our consultant from Minnesota, will be on hand, along with Gwen Whiting from Richmond and Jereann King Johnson from North Carolina. Rev. Edward King with the duPont Fund will also join us.
