CrownPoint Update

We have had our 4th meeting as a newly emerging community focused group. Consistently we have had attendance of 15 or more people and the enthusiasm and eagerness of the group to begin to do things in the community is fantastic! Along with narrowing down an identifying name for ourselves (we are located in what has traditionally been referred to as CrownPoint), getting familiar with one another, assigning roles for our meetings and highlighting particular areas that we would like to address within the community, we have identified two specific projects that we will work towards. The first is on August 1, 2008 where we hope to have a table at the Open House/Carnival that the AAT school is putting on. There we will begin share who we are and what we are all about - why we exist (which, by the way, is to make CrownPoint community a better/healthier place to live). Through exposure like this we hope to invite more residence to join our meetings so that they can share in the work being done to strengthen our neighbourhood's resources, and work towards filling the gaps that exist. The second event is the Ottawa St Festival on September 27, 2008 where we hope to have more promotional material and perhaps offer an interesting table/activity and serve the organizers of that event, as best we can. Book those two dates in your calendars as well as August 18, 2008 which is our next CrownPoint meeting. Let's be part of transforming this community!
