So....anybody else in? What day and time works? Well, and what location? Would someone be willing to allow everyone to meet at their house? I was thinking maybe Sunday would be a good day to meet. Any thoughts, suggestions, anyone?
So.....who would be interested in forming a group of people to brainstorm ideas to activate change in the community?? I feel as if electronic communication is impersonal. Who would be up for meeting like once a week or something of the sort. It is up to us to live the change we wish to see in our community and society. It order to activate change we must come together, in person and take action!
So...do anybody ever meet up to discuss ways to make a difference,well and to get to know eachother a little better. Using the internet seems so impersonal.
From Jonny 5: "The Activate Tour is an opportunity to re-energize and reorient ourselves. There will be a strong focus on laying the foundation for street teams to take action, including workshops and trainings on basic organizing strategies, grassroots fundraising, and conflict resolution."
My name is Alicia and I'm from the Chicago Street Team. I'm also the rep for the Mid-North region. I included the region info below for your reference.
I know there hasn’t been much activity lately in both the site and some local teams. Fortunately, FWT National has been working really hard to re-launch the site and our organization as a whole after the “pause” we took since the beginning of the year. You probably already noticed some of the changes being made to the site. They are also working on a new curriculum that I’m confident will help street teams become more active. No more wondering what we are supposed to do :-D. It’s all so exciting! Even more exciting are the regional gatherings that will be taking place soon. Our region is schedule for October. We will have training for organizers and members! Stay tune for more details.
Also, could the organizer of this group please contact me? I’d like to start working with you and start coordinating for our regional gathering.
I’m looking forward to working more closely with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns....or just to say hi :-D
