Coffee, quilt will keep momentum going
Thursday, June 5th, 2008The final meeting with our helpers from Horizons was held Monday, June 2. We didn’t get as many people as we had hoped, perhaps because of graduation weekend, but the people who did attend got a good wrap-up of all the various projects Horizons has implemented. Even those who admitted they were weary from the weekend enjoyed the meal and became good participants in the discussions at the end of the meeting.
Two great things happened near the end of the meeting that will give Horizons momentum going into the summer. First was the announcement of a Community Coffee that will be held every Friday at the Community Building (behind the Princess Theater) at 9 a.m. It will be the first weekly, open, public, community-building conversations ever to be held in St. James. That’s a lot of adjectives, but there’s a lot of possibilities in the coffee.
The second is the Horizons quilt. Donna Koch brought cloth strips and asked everyone to write a positive message on them, so they can be sewn into a quilt. With the quilt and the new Horizons St. James banner, we will be able to assemble an impressive display.
