RLNC 2008 – “Reaching Across the Community”

 

 

Saturday, May 17, 2008 – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Little Lake Grange 

 

$15 Donation includes lunch

 

 

 

The third annual Regional Localization Networking Conference (RLNC) will be a little different than the last two.  In the past we reserved the Brooktrails Lodge for two nights and two days and invited localizers from all over the

Western United States

.  At that time there were no other centers of localization in the

Western United States

.  Now there are localization groups all over.  This year the invitation is going out to

Mendocino

County

,

Lake

County

, Southern Humboldt County, and anyone else particularly interested in what we are doing around here as far as localization is concerned.  We will have a one day event to make it convenient for our neighbors to car-pool here without the need for a sleep-over.  We will only charge $15 to make it affordable for everyone who wants to attend.

 

 

 

The theme this year, “Reaching Across the Community” is about talking to those parts of the community that we may not be reaching.  We have invited a panel of community leaders from a broad spectrum of our community to share their thoughts on 1) how their organization enhances Community Self Reliance; 2) how they mend fences and relationships within their organization, and 3) how do they want outsiders to their organization to seek to influence them.  This will be followed by lunch and break out discussions to follow-up the morning panel.  We will have a presentation by the Willits Women’s Council titled “What’s That You Said?” – Communication Styles.

 

 

The panel members that have graciously agreed to help us are:

 

 

Sheriff Tom Allman

 

Maricela Nieto of Nuestra Alianza de Willits

 

Lynn Kennelly of the Willits Chamber of Commerce

 

Mayor

Holly Madrigal

of the City of

Willits

 

Ron Orenstein – Rotarian and former City Council Member

 

Trina Fitzgeral

Tribal Administrator of

Sherwood

Valley

Rancheria

 

Margie Handley of the Howard Foundation

 

Rev.

Steve Thrift

of the

Agape

Church

 

 

As in years past, this RLNC is sponsored by WELL and the City of

Willits

We encourage local groups and organizations to put on workshops about Localiztion issues; Sustainablity skills & technology, and Watershed issues throughout the town of Willits on this day.  WELL will gladly advertise and promote such workshops to Willits residents and to those from our neighboring communities who will be coming to Willits to attend RLNC on Saturday.
