Hi, Libraries may be interested in joining this coalition to: - keep our customers informed about the latest programs and information in their communities - show other organization how library resources can support local programs - inform agencies in our communities about how the library can be helpful in promoting local programs Mary Jo Vortkamp Franklin Branch of the Detroit Public Library ------------------------------ *From: *"Amy.Smolski" <Amy.Smolski@mccmh.net> *To: *micommonwealth@googlegroups.com, macombresources@googlegroups.com, "wayne-county-r." <wayne-county-resource-champions@googlegroups.com>, "Debra Hendren" <DHendren@chninc.net> *Sent: *Wednesday, September 2, 2015 10:12:09 AM *Subject: *Fwd: Social Capital Initiative Good morning. We had a productive *Building Community Social Connections* event on June 23. Below we are sharing the summary snap shot of the information gathered at the event. The Social Capital Initiative group is using these results to creatively and collectively move forward. A majority of evaluations identified that professional networking was a priority in the efforts to connect the people they serve with resources. The next step in our efforts to expand social connections throughout the Metro region will take place on October 20, 2015 at MORC Clinton Twp. *(Flyer attached)* It is exciting that we will continue to network to: - expand social connections, - find solutions to overcome the barriers that inhibit community engagement, - disseminate information of opportunities for engagement and belonging, and - champion opportunities for people to develop inter-dependence, accomplishment, positive roles and positive relationships. We look forward to seeing you at the next Social Capital Initiative Event!
