To touchbase on progress since the charette and longterm visioning toward Cherokee Street public space.

7:00pm Gather and introductions. Designate a scribe.
7:15pm Everyone state what they have specifically taken from this process since November 08. Identify the successes, the barriers, and ways to start to overcome those barriers.
7:45pm Make a rough plan for the coming 12 months. People identify areas where they are willing to assist - the committees that came out of the last meeting, mostly. Ideally, there would be people there who would be willing to organize those committees, and maybe even time for breakouts.

Story from Eric S, 3/19/2009.

Here's another inspirational story ya'll might like:

a few nights ago I was walking Karina about 11 o clock or so -- south city has been hopping the past two weeks in both good and bad ways - lots of people out on the streets because of warm weather and spring break, gunshots every night, lots of people on stoops -- the beginning of spring and summer.... -- and all of the sudden I look up and there's about 30 teenagers ready to rumble - total West Side Story style (minus the snapping) - a line of about 15 on one side, a line of about 15 on the other - yelling, cursing, occasionally two breaking out of the group and landing a few punches before joining their respective sides

Intercambio is a program through IFCLA (the Inter-Faith Committee on Latin America) that places English and Spanish speakers in contact with one another. There is no fee; participants simply have to be willing to share their language and/or culture with the other person. IFCLA meets every Monday @ CAMP at 7pm.

The general format: Half of the conversation time will be practicing English and the other half will be in Spanish, discussing cultural differences, similarities and other experiences such as immigration.
