Re: Open Space: Our Common Ground Forum

Dear Interested Citizens,

Attached is the Report from the Open Space: Our Common Ground Forum that took place on September 21, 2002. The report includes comments submitted by participants and compiled by the facilitators.

During the wrap-up, participants demonstrated an interest in continuing the discussion on reaching common ground. Some volunteered to continue the effort. To accomplish this task, the Common Ground Committee (CGC) was formed. The CGC meets monthly and your participation is welcomed. CGC's Mission and Action Plan are included in the report.
