“The 316 Group project” II
The process of forming an action group began on November 19th.
There was no agenda. People talked about what they thought this group could do.
Ideas flew.
The consensus was to form a group that had as its mission – “To help.”
“To help what or whom?”
People felt that this group could provide services to a community.
People began to list the variety of services that should be provided.
Then came the idea of a community center where all these services could be provided in one place.
That took nearly the entire two hours.
Several things happened.
The group began to coalesce into a like-minded group.
An informal leader or two asserted themselves.
There was a different kind of energy among the participants –
We were creating something from scratch , something larger than themselves.
Now with this conversation, the hard part starts.
● Reigniting the energy of the first meeting.
● Reconstructing and confirming the direction of the group.
● Begin to create a consistent structure.
● Discover what everyone MUST do to make the group successful.
See you Tuesday! Bring your sense of purpose!
Find it in your friends and bring them!
Can We Walk Our Talk?

Financial Literacy is not often taught in school. Items like budgeting, managing money,
investing, paying your bills on time. saving money.
Most people live from paycheck to paycheck.
Some wonder what they’re going to do when their welfare check runs out.
