Tonight we had a ONEPrairieVillage meeting (our first) combined with Stand Up and encouragement for calls regarding the Jubilee Act. I think it went well for our first meeting. Including myself, there were 10 people present, all of whom had previously signed the ONE Declaration.

We briefly introduced ourselves (since many of us weren’t familiar with one another), then I gave a short presentation on the basics of ONE’s mission. Following the presentation we all stood as one of our members read the Stand Up script. Pictures of the meeting and of us all standing are attached.

I think this meeting served as a great beginning, or resurrection as one member put it, of ONE activity in Kansas City. We will do some brainstorming in the next few weeks and plan to meet again next month and get an awareness event planned in the coming months.

Thanks for all your help and guidance since I joined the leader group! While ten was a good number for our first meeting, we’ve got plenty of room to grow…
