Save Our Town video series starts Thursday, June 27

WHAT MATTERS Warren Invitation:

In this video, George McIntyre, Craig Laird and Beth Medved Waller discuss an opportunity to gather to continue the process of overcoming the current state of turmoil in our community. On Thursday, June 27, from 11:30am to 1pm, The Front Royal Independent Business Alliance will host a free screening that will be the first in a series of videos. The first video is “Idea Friendly: How to Make Your Town Open to New Ideas” featuring Becky McCray and Deb Brown from SaveYour.Town, and it will be held at the WHAT MATTERS Community Meeting Space, Open House: Meet in the Middle (213 E. Main St. & adjacent to the Daily Grind Coffee Shop). McCray and Brown will talk about the process for making your ideas work in town.

“Too often, pessimists shoot down your ideas. But you have great ideas, a vision of what your town could be. How do you start making things happen? Learn the practical steps you can take to change attitudes, draw a crowd of supporters, improve the environment and create more connections, no matter what the pessimists say or do,” said McCray.

This event is designed to show our community new ways to get things done. There is no charge to attend this screening and a lively discussion is planned to follow. The Apple House will provide brown bag lunches for $5 and complimentary coffee/tea/water is available at Open House. The gathering will begin at 11:30am and video will start promptly at noon. “Together we’ll work through the process to make your town more Idea Friendly. We’ll show you how to Gather Your Crowd, Make Connections and Take Small Steps. It all adds up to creating the kind of town you want to live in,” said Brown.

Also, please mark your calendars for Friday, July 12th from 6-7pm for the next “Conversation of Hope” sponsored by WHAT MATTERS. At the first “Conversation,” dozens of community members gathered to share positive comments about moving forward and embracing the good qualities, people and vitality that Warren County has to offer.
