Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Matt, Will a Community Outreach Forum be happening at the Convention for people like myself who are interested in getting involved? If so could this be mentioned at the regionals for people who aren't making the convention? Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Helen-- The fist step to helping with this is to contact our VP of PR Barbara- and offer to assist with the development of the handout materials. One of the very important aspects of the CO program is to make sure everybody is speaking the same message and reading from the same play book so communities are getting a consistent message. Please contact Barbara (tobubba@...) and ask her if you can help in the development of the materials and curriculum. Thanks for your productive interest.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 clarification.. She is the District One's outreach coordinator -Casey Hubelbank District Director D1 District One does not have any chapters at the moment although it may be petitioning for two at the 2005 conference as neither of the two forming chapters will meet requirements by the 2004 conference. --- " klee102@...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Thanks, Ken, for the clarification about the conception of the outreach program. I'm looking forward to wider implementation of the Community Outreach Program as well...I'm just betting it comes from Rick's team as opposed to Matt's. Cara > > From: " klee102@...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Just wanted to say that this seems like an excellent program and that I'm glad to see LPA involved in community/activist programs, and I hope LPA increases its activities in such areas. Kudos to Barbara for getting this program up and running. Mike > Community outreach is a LPA program, under development, where an LP volunteer goes to schools to explain our differences along with our similarities. My wife Barbara has visited elementary schools as the chairperson of this program. Here is an article describing her recent visit: > http://www2.townonline.com/maynard/artsLifestyle/view.bg? articleid=123095 > > I would like to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and a healthy holiday season. > > Regards. > Rick Spiegel > LPA National President > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
