We have finished Leadership Plenty, but we are just getting started on the next exciting phase of this process, Community Visioning!!

Join us on May 12th, 7:00 pm for dessert at the Tum Tum Community Center ~ 6424 Hwy. 291~ as we report on the progress we have made with our current 4 areas of concern: Easier access to Basic Resources; Better communication within the community and county, Community Events and Transportation.

What is the Community Visioning Process? It is the process by which we take the ideas generated during Study Circles and Leadership Plenty, mobilize community members and dream big to adopt a shared vision and plan for a better community in the Tum Tum/Lake Spokane area. One of the ways more people will have input, is through a Community Survey. The results of this survey will be used as a tool to help guide us to achieve the 3 guiding poverty reduction goals as identified by our funder, the Northwest Area Foundation. They include: increased individual wealth among low income people, increased community capacity to achieve sustainable prosperity, and improved public policy solutions to reduce poverty. The Tum Tum Horizons group will be encouraging participants from all segments of the community to participate in the survey.

Stay tuned for the results of the survey and updates on the 4 identified areas of concern as we go through this Visioning Process.
