Study Circles Orientation Invitation

VISIONS will be sponsoring a round of Study Circles this fall to encourage a diverse community dialogue on ways to reduce poverty in the Northern Neck. Study Circles have been used all over the United States in large and small communities to successfully address the issue of poverty. To learn more about what Study Circles are, please read the blogpost Study Circles Q&A from July 17th. We hope to have as many people as possible involved in those Study Circles, which will run from October through mid-November. We want the whole community to be part of the solution to a problem that impacts the whole community.

To get ready to begin that process, Gwen Whiting will be providing the VISIONS team and any interested parties with an orientation to Study Circles. The orientation will take place on Tuesday, August 18th and Wednesday, August 19th from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the Northumberland County Community Center on Browns Store Road. A light supper will be provided both nights.

We are inviting all our June conference attendees and any other people who are interested in learning more to attend these orientation meetings. We hope that our conference attendees will pass on this invitation to anyone they think might like to attend.

If you would like to attend, please respond to me at visions@lancasterlibrary.org with confirmation.
