Participants in last week's first "listening session" on Access to Healthcare, Seniors and Recreation. |
The "listening sessions" that are the foundation of the Plainfield Vision 2025 project continue this week with two separate opportunities.
Monday evening will see a session on Childhood & Youth Education at the Plainfield High School cafeteria, getting under way at 7:00 PM.
On Wednesday evening, the first of three sessions on Public Safety will be held, also at the PHS Cafeteria and also starting at 7:00 PM. (The other two Public Safety sessions will be October 12 at Cook School, and October 16 at Washington Community School. All start at 7:00 PM.)
The purpose of the sessions is for community members to brainstorm ideas for action items in the subject area -- both large and small -- as well as to identify stakeholders and resources (including funding sources).
Each session follows a similar pattern: Attendees are invited to jot down one idea on each of three Post-It notes provided when they arrive; the action team then sorts the notes into groups with a similar theme, and participants gather around tables (one theme to a table) to further discuss and refine the suggestions on the Post-It notes. To close the evening, each table reports out its ideas to the whole group.
Records are kept of all suggestions, which will then be incorporated into a public presentation to be made on November 4 at Plainfield High School.
This week's sessions are in the PHS Cafeteria, facing the Kenyon Avenue parking lot, where there is ample parking with entry directly off the lot.
