GREAT ORGANIZATION! GREAT WORK!
Bringing our efforts to the table
CLICK HERE to get in on the DISCUSSION
On April 1st, 2009 something extraordinary happened.
26 of Kingston's key community organizatons and individuals gathered for an intimate meal at Gabriel's on John Street. We met for the first time for a casual dinner and pointed discussion on the positive efforts being had in the city of Kingston.
In a round table fashion after our bellies were full, the group was asked,
"What question, if answered, could make the most difference for the future of Kingston?"
Visit: PlanKingston's Yahoo! Group to participate. Follow the threads....
Let's continue to grow this group and diversify so that in time, we are able to represent the majority of Kingston Citizens.
Special thanks to Tom Caplan for facilitating.
