“Projects Committeeâ€
If someone has a project, come to projects committee to discuss. Once we talk about project and confirm its viability we need an organizational team and leader. This team will present to us and then the whole group. The committee is to help facilitate projects.
Next meeting make a list of projects and what we need to make them happen
- Have people propose projects to us
- Find projects
- Follow up on with communications group
- Create resource pool
- Hi Kathy,
- It was really fun! I had a great time. It was a great group, full of enthusiasm and I thought the meeting was really well organized. I had one more idea if it interests you guys; maybe in the summer some of you could organize some permaculture workshops for families in our gardens? Maybe once a month? I think it would be nice to introduce kids to these ideas. Maybe also some workshops at Racine des Paix or Garden of thyme – where there are a lot of kids. We can talk more about it. It could be a nice first way of working together? Mel.
