Peaceable Community meetings were held on March 7 and March 9, 2000. Members of all groups in Westford were invited to join to discuss common goals for the next year. Attached are copies of the minutes from those meetings. A list of participants is also included. If you would like more information, please contact one of us and we will be happy to help you.

It was exciting to see so many groups working together and looking for ways to make Westford a peaceable community. The action items reported out by each team sound very interesting. The Peaceable Action Team Members listed below have volunteered to follow up with the individual groups. We will be contacting members within the respective groups to see how you are doing on the ideas/actions which you identified.

Tuesday groups:

Sports Respect Marge Hendriks

Respect for Teens Chris Strutt

Parenting/Family Emily Welch

 

Thursday groups:

Teens and Community Respect/

Youth/Elderly/Diversity Respect Sue Withers

Inter-group/community Respect Jack Wrobel

Many of the evaluation forms indicated a need for future follow-up meetings. We will be reviewing all inputs and determining our next steps. We will keep you informed.

We again thank each of you for taking time to meet and work together. See you all at the Apple Blossom Parade in May.

Sincerely,

Peaceable Action Team
