Community Engagement Action Kit -
Upgrade |
Our first upgrade is available for
the Community Engagement Action Kit! In producing our recorded Community
Engagement class (see above), we realized there was something missing from the
Action Kit. So we have added 17 new pages to the Action Kit, including a
start-to-finish example for using Community Engagement to increase program
diversity.
Remember - All Upgrades are FREE to Purchasers of the Community Engagement Action
Kit! If you already own the Kit, check your email - those upgrades have
been sent. If you have not received that upgrade, please let us know.

Next week will be the last of our
3-part Holiday Newsletter. And next week's installment is all presents -
articles you have loved, links to places we have loved, and yes another "Cool
Distraction." We will even make some recommendations for last minute gifts!
After next week, we will go back to our regular schedule (and we confess that
our regular schedule is more like that of our local food bank, who finally gave
up and called their newsletter The More Than Occasional
Newsletter!).
Thank
you, as always, for the work you do to make your communities better places to
live. We wish for you all the possibilities life
holds.
