Summary
of Visioning Session
6/6/08
Background:
At the annual meeting on June, 6 2008, Rich Tariff led the group in
a brainstorming exercise in regards to where the Vernon Community Network
(VCN) should be putting its efforts over the course of the next year.
The
following is a summary of ideas that were presented:
-
A VCN Directory and a Juvenile Review Board initiative were
unanimously agreed upon.
-
The need for a Community Center in Rockville since many members are hearing that there isnt anything to do in town from local youth.
-
The need for a
crisis team to connect agencies in a major town event such as a house
fire, gang incident, etc.
-
The VCN may
want to connect with additional faith groups in order to strengthen
the VCN.
-
The need for increased public relations for VCN.
A suggestion was made to have a PR subcommittee.
Another suggestion was made to have a VCN information table at
local events.
-
The need for increased personal growth training since the April
session was so well received.
-
The need for
transitional living and what this group could contribute.
-
The
need for increased inter-agency communication to increase our
knowledge about specific agency programs.
-
A suggestion
was made to put a VCN advertisement into the adult education catalog.
