Good,” etc.) (20 min)

the rules/accountabilities, philosophy, membership, etc.

Vision/mission, which is part of “context,” will be focused on at

the Working Weekend (25 min)

V. Committee Presentations, especially “Finding land” committee

and “visiting communities” committee – Each committee will

have a spokesperson present a summary of their findings and

next steps (10 min maximum/committee) – PLUS – the group

brainstorms and generates a “mandate” and/or a list of things

for each committee, so each committee has a better sense of

what the group is looking for from the committee – 40 min total
