            • Let me begin by thanking you for your participation in the Newhallville Grassroots Action Planning meeting on Tuesday night at Lincoln Bassett School.  It was truly exciting to be in a room full of passionate community leaders (like you) working together to improve the lives of Newhallville residents.
          • Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, August 14th, 2017 at Lincoln Bassett School – 5:30pm.  The meeting will focus on the following:

             

            1)   Updates and/or revisions on the tasks that individuals volunteered to complete within their group

            2)   Review of existing resources (technical assistance and/or funding) earmarked specifically for Newhallville residents

            3)   Identification and solicitation of new resources that can support community leaders, organizations and/or institutions operating within Newhallville

             

            If you have any questions or additional suggestions for the next meeting, please feel free to contact me via email.  I look forward to your continued leadership in our next meeting.
