I LOVE your collection of TOOLS in the Toolbox ! I have recommended the site to several other folks - and TRIED to find mention of them in the GuestBook - which I have myself not bothered to sign these past dozen or so times I have come to mine the riches of this site. Future recommendations will include "...and PLEASE sign into the Guest Book !" [first we change ourselves - then we change our world...] A current project is working with a group of Baha'is who are involved with various aspects of Agriculture /Environment / Community-building / Sustainability ... to build a viable organization which would serve to build community among MANY groups which commonly focus on their DIFFERENCES instead of their COMMON concerns - an extreme example might be "tree-huggers" and folks in the timber industries - an early attempt will be constructing a web portal with resources for MANY diverse interests - and then e-discussion groups (moderated) to encourage reasonably polite and productive interchanges among these folks. Working name for the group is "Agriculture Forum" - and when we settle on a web host and such - I'll be back to post an update. Thanks for a GREAT resource on the web...! Michael in Cochabamba 8^)>

I am currently the Hospital Administrator at Sumner Co. Hospital No. 1 in Caldwell, Kansas. We were recently awarded a 74,000 from the state of Kansas and KHA. The Caldwell and Arkansas City Hospitals as well Cowley County Public Health, Caldwell Family Clinic, Arkansas Clinic are the participants in the project. The grant $ are to promote collaboration between care providers and hopefully improve access to care. I attended the public health summit and heard your presentation. We need the tools in the community tool box and the expertise of Vincent and training on how to effectively use the tools that you provide. I have been unsuccessful in reaching Vincent by phone. Please call me at 316-845-6492 or e-mail me. Thanks Virgil Watson

Within the last few years, growth management has become a focal point for public and private concerns. We believe that intelligent growth starts with the understanding that all jurisdictions within a region, county, or metropolitan area are inexorably linked. The problems associated with rapid growth in one part of a state, county or city and the challenges facing decaying urban areas, first ring suburbs and resource-poor rural areas are opposite sides of the same coin. We think that solutions start with education and good informational sources, sharing the successes and failures of other parts of the country. To this end, we offer lectures in main street revitalization, downtown and brownfield redevelopment, neighborhood planning and infill techniques, suburban 'urbanization', sustainable greenfield development and town-making principles, generally at minimal or no charge. The partners of Lennertz Coyle & Associates are nationally recognized leaders in urban design and town planning. As charter members of the Congress for New Urbanist (CNU) and co-host of the CNU 2000 Congress in Portland, OR (June 15-18), the firm is dedicated to sharing our experiences with planning and development agencies, public officials and organizations involved in both sides of growth management.
