Hello, I am interested in the concept of community, how it seems lost in modern times and how we can retrieve it. I am looking for articles and ideas from others on this topic so I can refine my ideas and decide what I want to do to actively initiate change.

I work as a policy analyst for the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg in Canada. The Planning Council is involved in a number of projects that involve using an asset-based community development approach, especially as it relates to community health. Using population/health promotion ideas, we try to involve communities and neighbourhoods in a process that builds on community capacities. Your site has alot of very valuable information that we will access and we will encourage others to benefit from all of your hard work. Thanks very much for a great site!

Am a life long journalist and newspaper manager, currently working as the community development director at the Austin American Statesman in Austin. We are in the midst of refining what we do with our philanthropic efforts through the newspaper. I am looking for some training that will help me in facilitating community groups as a convenor, and in learning how to assess outcomes.

I am part of the Pew Charitable Trust Initiative known as the Pew Civic Entrepreneur Initiative involving 10 mid-sized cities in the US. I am with the Honolulu group; we are three classes - one per year for 3 years. Our principal sponsor was the Hawaii Community Foundation with the support of 16 other local non-profit organizations. I appreciate what you have done and look forward to visiting your site often. Presently, we are working on an Association of Community Association in keeping with a suggestion made by John McKnight in his book, the Careless Society.

My computer system is Windows 98 Gateway. I am anexperienced RN in the third world. I have done multiple short term med. trips. I now am a nursing student at Bethel College in St. Paul MN getting another degree in nursing. I am very interested in short term missions and am doing a research paper on how nurses can effect short term missions especially in the area of discharge teaching in relationship to medicines given out at clinics. Do you have any specific research or other material about that? I find you web site to be an answer to prayer. I have been unable to find really good research articles on nurses and short term medical missions. God Bless Bert Stauff 3755 Lakeland Ave. N Robbinsdale MN 55422

Hello Steve: I am presently managing the Diabetes Today National Training Center project, based at R.O.W. Sciences in Rockville, MD. We are funded with a five year grant from the CDC Division of Diabetes Translation. We will be training state Diabetes Control Programs and their partners in community organization and diabetes control and prevention. We are wondering about how we can collaborate with the Community Tool Box and possibly incorporate it into the training we will be doing starting later this year. Please call or e-mail me with your suggestions. I am very curious to know what you have done that might be similar to our efforts and I am very willing to collaborate with you. My work phone is 301-294-5657. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I work with Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools as a Subject Area Coordinator in the Department of Vocational, Adult and Community Education, serving as a central office support person for Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Science and Technology, and Tech Prep/Applied Academics. In the Family and Consumer Sciences area, I work with high school child care occupational programs which provide infant/toddler day care for teen parents and community parents who are enrolled in our educational programs in high school or adult education. Our day care centers are supported by Family Resource Centers and all four of these centers are in large part grant-funded. I am always looking for new "community solutions/tools" and your website interested me very much. I heard about your site through being the Tennessee contact person for the AAFCS Early Childhood Initiative. In preparation for our TAFCS Annual Conference next week, I am surfing all sites listed in the Monthly Memo for the Early Childhood Initiative. This may be more than you want to know about me and our interests; but thanks for being among those with children's interests at heart!
