July 3, 2009Please mark your calendar for the last Friday in September, our traditional time to gather.
After an extremely energizing meeting Thursday morning in Worthington with the Steering Committee and interested members, we formed a plan.
Important point one: A statewide summit is being planned for the spring, which will be aimed at the entire state and will likely attract a large number of people and require a lot of event planning.
Important point two: With point one in mind, we are discussing a “scaled-down” event for September, aimed at Central Ohio only, and specifically those who would like to take a more active role in the movement, the Leave No Child Inside message, and the themes of Louv’s book.
Our goal for the September gathering will be for people to arrive with the idea that they will find a place on a team within our Collaborative, and work on that team (committee) for one year. So the September event will likely take shape around an action plan, inclusive of our usual broad categories. (Health, conservation, education, urban planning, parks, etc.)
We also plan to have breaks for fun during the day, with hiking, boating and birding as distinct possibilities!
More information will follow soon!
