This invitation is, of course, extended to all Visionaries. What a golden
opportunity we have here to talk about a broad range issues such as
community safety, community health and wellness, education from pre-school
to university, economic development, beautification, revitalization,
historic preservation, the state of the arts and technology in our
community, and many, many more.
We hope that many of you will join us as we take part of a day out or our
hectic lives to take a look at this place called Moscow, Idaho and identify
what it is we like about it and how we can help it to become even better.
Please look for a registration form to the Retreat in this weekend's Daily
News. Publicity for the event will step up within the next 3 weeks.
I hope to see all of you at the Retreat! Lori Keenan (the other Lori)
