Next Meeting Date

The group will meet again at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 28th at the Unleavened Bread Cafe.  Check back here for meeting details. 

Before the meeting, we decided to come up with some suggestions for a Purpose Statement.  We bantered around a lot of ideas at the last meeting, and kept getting stuck on who we are, rather than what we’re trying to do.

We agreed on “increasing the success of the re-entry system”.  We also agreed that this could be done in part through “increased collaboration and networking” because there is room for improvement in that area.  Post your suggestions here for the Purpose Statement.

A Revolution

A small group of individuals in the Indianapoils area have come together to forge a revolution.  We’re still working on a purpose statement, but one thing we do know, is that this will be a forum to “get the real deal” on re-entry stuff.  Stuff like – where should someone go who has a felony conviction and can’t find employment?  Post your ideas, opinions, resources, etc.  We seek:

• more accountability to people with felonies
• greater success in the re-entry system
• better networking and communication among service providers
• Service with integrity

These are a lot of great things going on in our community and we think they could be better – especially with millions of tax dollars coming into our community.  Check back – and post, post, post.  Thanks!
