Heart & Soul of Essex has begun a series of conversations in living rooms, businesses and other places around town. People who live or work in Essex are getting together in small groups to participate in a facilitated discussion. During the conversation, community members share experiences about living or working in Essex, and identify hopes for the future. These conversations are expected to lay the groundwork for a shared vision that will drive community decision making in the future.
Want to host a conversation in your home, workplace or at another location around town? Or want to get involved in a different way? Contact Lori Houghton at 373-0599 or houghton.lori@gmail.com.
