People came and there was a lot of shouting, anger and frustration. Based on the input that came out of the town hall meeting, we created a task force and totally transformed the (singles) program. It's now called the Young Professional Initiative.

We need to listen to our kids and provide something that will engage them.

The town hall meeting is a concept we created to help us make sure that every member of the community can come in and give their opinion.

The Federation is beginning to work closer with our congregations to help strengthen their programs.

It is our hope that, during the workshops, people will make suggestions for new programs or articulate an unmet need. A designated recorder will be taking notes and presenting any suggestions and/or recommendations at the closing session. An evaluation form will also be available, in case someone is too shy to speak up.
