>> SUBJECT: Catchier name for Community Retreat
>>
>> 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
>information,
>> call Susan Palmer 882-5023, or Lori Keenan 882-3923. E-mail inquiries
>are
