Citizens’ Voices Minutes

3/10, 2006

Present: Anne, Tony, Kristi, Dave, Shelly, Malda

Next meeting is on Friday, March 24 at the Coffee Hag at 7:30 am. Welcome back Bill from both the warm & the cold places of our great country.

Dave on the REGIONAL FORUM:

Next forum is set for "Ethics of Globalization" on March 30th at 6:30 pm in the Police Annex Building of North Mankato. Our group was asked to deliver posters to coffee houses & other places of people congregating.

Future programs might include abortion as well as immigration.

Review of Envision 2020:

Perhaps the facilitator could just say something like "If you are just joining us, please review the previous actions on the web site." As it is too much time is spent in "catching up" first timers.

Should we split up Community Planning, Planning & Revitalization Regional Governance?

Good idea to e-mail to all the vision statement before the next meeting. We must keep it in mind for all our discussion & decisions.

Could we train the community in "listening"? Which action groups will go on after Envision 2020 or Citizens Voices?

Could we form a "Civilian Tree Core"?
