Jump on the Bandwagon and Be Part of the Solution

Do you know someone who needs help? Do you suspect there are many others who are not being served? Share your thoughts. Let’s start brainstorming together and solving problems on the island. Send your ideas to Vashon Idea Box@aol.com , a suggestion box established by the Vashon Maury Island Community Council’s Outreach Committee. Better yet, join in the Outreach activities as well. The committee is looking for ideas and members to link with the various groups of islanders, all with different interests and needs.

Outreach met recently to begin a new phase. Small study groups will be used to investigate particular areas of concern to islanders with the goal of finding a solution and taking action. What speakers would you like to hear at the VMICC meetings? What collective action would you like to see planned?

Outreach is not policy, but process. The next meetings will be Thursday, Oct. 6, at 9 to 11 a.m. at Minglement and again on Wednesday evening, Oct. 19, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Vashon Library. Come and brainstorm about how to make the VMICC and Outreach the important service to the island it has been in the past.
