Hello Folks

The attached report will be discussed at this gathering. Feel free to look it over (just click on “leadership report” below) and join us if you can. The soup and sandwich should be good – hope to see you Monday eve!!

Community Gathering on Nov. 6th

Rural Learning Center Invites You to Community Gathering

The Rural Learning Center will hold its first public community meeting in Corsica on Monday, November 6 at 5:30 pm. The meeting, to be held in the Corsica Elementary school gym, will include a free soup and sandwich meal. The RLC will be reporting on its observations, interviews, and work thus far in the Corsica area.

Jim Beddow and his staff conducted 64 interviews in Corsica area during August and September. The interviews are the first stage of a process that will help Corsica area citizens develop a vision for the future of this region. The Rural Learning Center works with small, rural communities across the Great Plains in the areas of long-term visioning, economic development, leadership development, youth engagement, community design, and housing. They were hired by the Corsica Development Corporation, the City of Corsica, and the Corsica Commercial Club. The RLC staff and sponsoring organizations encourage you to attend the November 6th meeting to learn more about the Rural Learning Center and how you can be involved in creating the future for the Corsica area.

We will be posting some more info about this meeting, including a report on our work so far, later this week.
