Making Our Neighborhood Safer and Better
Our community continues to develop and grow as we move into the 21st century. What have we gained, and what has been lost? How do we maintain a sense of community and make our neighborhoods safe and livable?
Thursday, February 19 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Bost Extension Building B Auditorium, MSU Campus
The Forum: Oktibbeha County Leadership Development Class of 2008-2009 (http://msucares.com/forum) invites you to participate in a Community Discussion focusing on issues of public safety: what are the problems and how can the community, the schools, families, and individuals work together to solve them.
We will sit at tables of ten. Our emcee will ask a series of questions to the room and the participants at each table discuss the topic amongst themselves. This is your chance to be heard, or raise your own questions and concerns. There will be four rounds of questions, followed by an open discussion. A scribe at each table will take notes of the general discussion, but your anonymity as a participant will be protected. Heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served throughout the evening.
The data gathered will be summarized in a report and made available to all candidates running for local offices, civic leaders, educational leaders, public safety officials and the general public.
Our Leadership Class of 2008-2009 will use the information gained from this Community Discussion to help us establish projects that will impact our community and make it a better, safer place for all of its citizens.
This forum is limited to adults over the age of 18. Depending on the interest and results, a separate session may be held for the youth of the community.
If you are planning on attending, please RSVP to the Southern Rural Development Center at 325-3207 or by e-mail to alanb@srdc.msstate.edu. This will enable us to get a count for refreshments and to have name tags made before the event.
