While Jacqui and I were in the UK and intermittently out of
internet contact, work on the Newsletter has continued due to some dedicated
and busy Transitioners; thanks to Christine for helping us implement the new
work flow plan utilizing Melissa’s excellent suggestions,
namely dropbox and meetings, Melissa has really stepped up her organizational
efforts to help us the newsletter and blog the next step, and Robyn has been so
busy with workshops, trainings and the like I don’t know where she found
time to write it all up, but she did the results make up the bulk of the
content for this issue.
As part of the aforementioned next step we have several newsletter
positions that need filling.
Editor - responsible for gathering and proofing content for each
issue and updating, maintaining and backing up the list of subscribers.
Community events coordinator - responsible for collating community
events information into a monthly info calendar for each issue.
As we approach the one year anniversary of Foothills Transition,
there are many exciting developments underway. One of the ones I’m most excited about is
workshops of which there are several. I don’t suppose these will
happen more than once every 2 or 3 months at first but even this may require a
team of folks to make each one happen successfully. Here are my suggestions for
that team.
Team leader - overall management of the logistics and scheduling
of the workshops
Publicity - responsible for preparing all marketing press
releases, snippets and newsletter articles relating to the workshops.
Logistics support - arranging of materials, presenter support, and
site details.
Much of this work should be able to happen electronically and if
we can get this team together with a full complement it will mean less time for
each volunteer.
