Hi Team,

Establishing a Purpose and Intent for the Cafe

We are definitely closer to reaching consensus with regard to the Cafe intent. The grant introduction has created the vision for the purpose:

"Imagine a town where learning is a priority for everyone; from children to grandparents, a place where learning is a core component of the town's culture... A place where the town bands together to give everyone opportunities to grow and capitalizes on its existing resources by bringing together key stakeholders to make a difference..."

Based on our on-going discussion the purpose of the Cafe would be to introduce, explore, and consider what it would take to turn this vision into a reality. The Cafe would be the precurser to the work, but provide information vital to action planning.

Let's be ready to determine who the key stakeholders are that need to have this World Cafe "conversation" with us.
