Community Visioining phase complete!

On Thursday, September 10th we celebrated and reported on the completion of the Community Visioning phase of the Horizons Project!

We want to thank the Tum Tum Community Center for hosting the event and for your participation as a community over the past year!

40 participants in Study Circles
47 people attended the Action Forum in November
28 attended Leadership Plenty this past spring
36 people participated in the Strategic Planning Sessions in June

Over the course of the year in addition to community members, we have had two of our County Commissioners, Merrill Ott & Larry Guenther attend, as well as State Representative Shelly Short, Sheila Stalf representing Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers, two representatives from Rural Resources, Kelly Scalf & Linda Daniels Norris and Debra Kollock from WSU Extention attend various meetings.
Two separate surveys were used to gather information about issues related to our community. Results of those will be posted separately.

Our knowledge of what poverty means in our community has increased and our motivation for continuing to move forward is to create "Real Solutions for Real People!"
