PROJECT UPDATE!

Good things come in small packages is the old adage, and we are celebrating the small gifts!   We are getting some traction and movement, and we are gearing up for some outreach events that will both help the community but also get our name out.

Following has recently happened:

-     #1 - We had our first home informational meetings last week.  We had 14 folks show up and 6 kids.  This number included ourselves, family, and folks we connected with via the Internet and word of mouth.  There are several other folks who wanted to be there but could not because the night did not work with their schedules.  This was kind of amazing to me, because have not done any advertising or events yet and still attracted 20 or so folks!  We are pretty stoked about the first meetings.

#2 - We intend to have several other meetups in the next few weeks, so…, if your reading this and your interested in knowing what we are up to, drop me a line at rich@lvlegacy.org.

#3 - We will be having a 2^nd meeting with the peeps from the first meet.  The intent of the 2^nd meet will be to get a feel for their level of commitment to what we hope to accomplish, and then get them plugged into small groups.

#4 - We have the following events officially on our calendar now:

     - 16 May – Block Party

     - 07 Jun – Outreach Picnic

     - 27 Jun – Food Bank Outreach event

     - 28 Jun – Outdoor preview service/picnic

     - 12 Jul – Preview Service

There will be more scheduled within the next week or so, i.e., Movie night at the park; Community Service Projects, etc…

Additionally, Mike will be doing open mike nights at local venues to build and develop relationships.  We are also working on putting together our own open mike night, targeting the local college artists. 

Please continue to pray for our facility search.  The local school boards in the area we are targeting shot down our requests and subsequent waiver requests for use of their facilities.  So.., the search continues.  Thanks for the prayers!
