The 2nd of 3 Strategic Planning committee meetings met at the Main Street Bakery on Tuesday, November 13th at 5:00. We completed our Vision and Mission Statements. We had a very diverse group working together on our Vision and Mission Statements. We wrote this to show what we envision Bison to be in 2008. We also wrote our goals. All this after a wonderful meal that was, again, provided by Theo Larson.

Remember those “FUN” pre and post surveys that the Horizons Staff had you take during Study Circles and LeadershipPLENTY?
Believe it or not - it was for a purpose! Those pre & post survey’s help us to understand how much your community learned about poverty and about leadership by your participation in those specified curriculums.
As a result, we have assembled a community profile with the results of the pre & post surveys for both Study Circles and LeadershipPLENTY. Check out your community results by clicking on the links found under “Survey Data” on the right hand side of your community blog.
