223 NW Hill St… Will this be the place? Right next to the Taco Stand… Central location… What do you all think? Can we get enough support to cover the rent?

Rock the village 101… what’s with the village?
26 MayMy favorite thing to tell people lately is “The Village is what we believe in. Rocking it is what we do.”
I suppose it is important for me to answer the question…
Why the Village?
So for us, when it comes to community, the village is where its at. Specifically, the village is the most vibrant form of community that we can imagine. Here’s what it looks like (and please add to the list with your additions):
- Intergenerational connectedness
- Creativity
- Sharing of of our abundance (financial, time, generational, knowledge, food, etc)
- Celebrating all stages and transitions in life
- Living in awareness of how our choices effect the planet
- Sharing meals together
- Gathering for the “normal” things in life
What else would you add to this list of vibrant and mature community?

Where we are at
10 MayHey there folks!
Lots is happening with VillageWorks these last few weeks. We always need whatever resources or help you can give… we are after all celebrating the abundance that we have in the community and repurposing it back.
Here’s what’s new:
- We are still looking for a space (commercial, 2000 to 4000 square feet, good for a tool library / craft shack / etc)
- We are planning a HUGE community event in the first half of June. Stay tuned for that!
- Looking for businesses, organizations, and foundations to partner with (financially, tools and art supplies, and networking)
- We are getting the website up, the graphics prepared, etc
-
Stay tuned for Project Garage Sweep! this summer…
How do you rock the village?
