KC ONE 2007 Kick-Off Notes

Thank you to our new members who came to join us tonight for the 2007 kick off! We had some scheduling trouble with certain sporting events as well as the Governor's inaguration in Kansas tonight as well. That being said, we had a very productive and exciting kick off.

We are ready to start taking action! The areas of focus for us in town this year are going to be:

• Local Non-Profits
• Who is in town and interested in poverty reduction?
  
• Academic Institutions
• How do we start groups at the various Universities, what are their connections?
  
• Faith-Based Organizations
• Connecting the various churches and organizations already doing great work in town and overseas.
  
• Corporate Citizenship
  
• Most companies do something for social awareness, what and where?
  
• Social Awareness
  
• First Friday's, Art Fairs, great opportunities to be out showing films, participating interacting.

This is where you come in...are you an artist interested in having ONE at a show or sponsoring a show at First Friday's? Do you work for a major company in town that does work with poverty? What can you bring to the table to help?

Many came tonight motivated by New Year's resolutions, lets all start the year charged and ready to get involved, if it is even donating a little time or a friend who knows a friend who wants to become involved.

Our next meeting will be in 2 weeks, which we will then continue 1st and 3rd Monday of every week in February. Send us your ideas, your thoughts, your time or simply your passion to the cause all are helpful and needed.

Cheers,

Peter & Bill
