>
> We need your grey cells for a moment.
>
> The Retreat Advisory Committee wisely suggested we find a catchier name
for
> the event -- a "hook" that gets people's attention and says "Here's why
you
> want to come." Our grant proposal was called "Dreaming the Millennium,"
> but that doesn't do it either.
>
> Can anyone suggest a phrase that works better?
>
> As background, here's some draft text we'll be using to publicize the
> retreat in local newsletters, etc. Suggestions welcome.

>
> Dreaming the Millennium, a community-wide retreat, will be held inMoscow,
> Idaho on June 13, 1998. The event is an opportunity for all residents of
> Moscow and the surrounding area to identify community assets and imagine
> alternative futures. In the process, citizens will explore how facets of
> our gem community affect our lives in positive ways, and how they may be
> improved in the future.
>
> Daniel Kemmis, former mayor of Missoula and author
> of Good City, Good Life, will open the retreat at Moscow Senior High
School
> with a keynote address. Following his talk, retreat participants will
meet
> in small groups to explore dimensions of the Moscow community, including
> recreation, environment, governance, economic development, and others.
>
> After re-convening to summarize and plan next steps, participants can
enjoy
> entertainment and dinner provided by local vendors at East City Park.
> Child care and disabled access will be available. For further
