The Surveys Are In!

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Hot Springs Study CirclesRemember 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 and post surveys 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 and 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.

Coming Soon

The Horizons Visioning (Strategic Planning) Committee continues to work on the Horizons strategic plan. Drafts are posted on this site. Your comments are appreciated.

Watch for a “rollout” of the plan with a free dinner (chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, the works) at the American Legion between the third week of January, first part of February. The Visioning Committee will present the strategic plan and ask, who will join a team to work on each objective.

The teams will work on objectives related to affordable housing, wellness and prevention, entrepreneurship, programming to be aired on the community cable channel, youth activities, and others.

We could see another set of study circles to study and discuss affordable health care. That is a complex issue!
