Thank you Stephen for the Notes from the last call.
I think I need some clarification about the RSC rhizome trainings.
Is this something that should be announced to each rhizome to see if
there is interest? To be done before the Annual Meeting seems very
soon. I am interested in helping to organize one if there is interest
in my rhizome.
I recently attended a performance of Anu Yadav's play 'Capers
organized by students at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in
Baltimore. There was a panel discussion afterwards with a community
member from the Arthur Capper/Carrollsburg public housing projects
which the play was about. The discussion was very rich due to the
honest questions of the students and honest answers of the panel
about the subject matter of the play, gentrification and human
rights. This seemed like a good example of the kind of dialogue RSC
and Roots is looking for after a piece of work that brings up real
issues.
Is there a plan to have the schedule Saturday Gathering at the
Crossroads more fleshed out?
best, Hope

Update on RSC rhizome trainings – Carolyn via Laura
Proposal from Kathie deNobriga:
INSTEAD of doling out the money in $1-2,000 increments, why not try
for more leverage by using the money to convene a series of RSC
learning exchanges, centered in the Rhizomes. These day-long
"exchanges" could, with very little effort, could be expended to
serve as mini-festival, recruitment fair, and critically, strategic
planning sessions. (We're starting the SP process, and need to have
some regional input.) We're envisioning one of two templates: a
Friday night/all-day Saturday event OR an all-day Saturday/ Sunday-
morning structure (below are the two Templates, and an agenda for each).
Template A
Friday Evening
· Planning Session
· Refreshments
· Artistic Sharing
Saturday Gathering at the Crossroads
· Foundation for Community Partnerships - Principles of
Community Engagement
· Community Artists Partnership Projects: What's Shaking
Amongst those present
· Specific Project Ideas and/or Projects of Participants (Some
part of the Community Arts Project Kit & Exchange Ideas for Creating
Sustainable Projects)
· Resources within your community AND Region to support C/APP
· Next Steps
· Evening Performances and Celebration of Time Together
Template B
Saturday Gathering at the Crossroads
(same as above)me Together
Sunday Morning
Planning Brunch
Our available funds would enable us to compensate the RSC
facilitator, space rental if necessary, travel scholarships for folks
coming any distance (gas money), some food, documentation, etc. We
were thinking about starting these as soon as is reasonable, and be
done with them by the Annual Meeting, where the Strategic Plan will
really take place, based on our regional Listening sessions.
