Summary from last weeks meeting!

Finally, in the video archive (bottom left-hand menu of the Skidder) you will find a six-minute highlight reel of our first tour last fall, produced by John Whitehead. This was shown at the Feb. 21 dinner. There's some great music, great scenery, and a pretty amazing cast of characters. Enjoy!

A little bit more from our working dinner last week!

Hi! We enjoyed a lot of interesting conversation and received valuable input at last week's working dinner.  Some of your specific ideas have been compiled in a chart called “planning input from feb. 21,” which you’ll find in the file cabinet at left.  The Foundation team will use this to help further guide planning of the Scandinavian trip to maximize its value to you.  If you weren’t able to be at the dinner last week, please read this through and consider what you might add. Also, please check out the video below to get another glimpse into one of the table conversations.
Thanks! Bernadine
