Thanks for the great in-person conversations/fireside chats so far!
IN DECEMBER: we chatted with several remote workers living in our community and working for out-of-area companies. We learned about the interesting work being done, how connectivity plays a role in the future of our community, networked, and had a good time.
IN MARCH: We had quite a few new folks join, network, and share ideas and resources. We identified 3 community themes/areas of interest flowing through our ad-hoc discussion:
- Recovery (including addiction recovery, trauma recovery, and others; helping all our residents participate in a shared dream)
- Entrepreneurship (including remote work, innovation, capacity building, housing)
- Youth (including ideas for a "Boys and Girls Club" in Orofino.
NEXT TIME: (We will be sure not to conflict with City Council meetings, so City representatives can join!). Remember, Clearwater Common Ground can be anything the attendees want it to be. My vision is to create a "space" for networking, finding out about the talents and resources we have in our community, and collaborating on ideas that community leaders and other groups may need to know about or formally act on. Please feel free to network, identify common interests, and run with them outside our little group - don't wait for the rest of us! :)
