The Northwest Area Foundation Grassroots and Groundwork conference I attended in MN was outstanding! Many partners in addressing poverty were there, my favorite speaker about poverty was Tom Vilsack, the former governor of Iowa. The number one speaker about strategy, Chip Heath (author of the book Make it Stick , which I brought home to share), explained making messages memorable and motivating. I can not wait to share with you on June 11th the other exciting things.
A community Flea Market is set for the last weekend in June, 2008.
Thursday 26th thru Saturday the 28th. All items are donated and dropped off at the Fairland Ballroom on the north edge of town by the ballfields. Any person in need of clothing, furniture, tv’s, etc. are encourgaed to come and take whatever they need. If unable to donate that is fine, if you would like to leave a donation that is welcome also to help organize and advertise for the next year’s Flea Market. Last year’s market was a huge success and benefited many needy familes, college students, newly married couples, and just the population in general as the people in the area were glad to have a place for the items they no longer used. Volunteers are welcome to help set up and organize the market. Many items are already there and it looks like another outstanding year for donated goods.
