Minutes

John is willing to help us identify  a development consultant and grant writer and help us focus on a clear mission. Need a snappy phrase we can all use. People are thirsty for authenticity.   We need to sing from the same songbook. An abbreviated elevator pitch:
Change for Change
Adopt an Action
Adopt a Project
Support a Team
Be the Change
We Make the Art- You Support the Action
Adopt an Artist
We Exist to Make Change
Art=Action=Change
The organization and See.Say. Do project was created with community instead of for community.”
