This was held at Jefferson County Extension Office in Pine Bluff, AR. The training session began at 4p.m., Bobby Hall facilitated training, he was excellent! Lee Turner not only provided fish but deep fried fish (with his own cooker) outside the building, It was fabulous! Fish bowl activity completed by participants. Lots of education on Turning the Tide on Poverty and facilitator demonstrations. Kick Off event tentatively scheduled for September 30th, 2011.

Worst thing for a team

LACK OF CONFIDENCE!

Dialogue verses Debate

Dialogue- no winners or losers.

Debate- sharing ideas (attack mode) you try to come out a winner!

Salem Missionary Baptist Church is moving further down Sulphur Springs Rd. The old building they moved out from would make a great community center. It is across Sulphur Springs Rd. from Watson Chapel High School.

Yesterday I spoke with Glen Jackson the Administrator of Second C.H.A.N.G.E. Recovery Center. (This is where I attend AA meetings.) He has agreed to attend August 12th, 2011 meeting at the Reynolds Center in the Red Cross Room. I need to get back with him though I think I gave him the wrong date. I look forward to seeing everyone there.
Holly Sutton has agreed to attend the August 12th meeting. Holly is an Administrative Assistant at UAPB.
Last night we (Holly and I) went to National Night Out in Pine Bluff. We met the Chief of Police and the Mayor. Pine Bluff Police Department held this event. Overall this was a great success, residents attended from all over the Pine Bluff area.

Today I visited with Paul Jones JP for Watson Chapel. I also spoke with Juanita Buckmaster at Watson Chapel School today they both agreed to attend the August 12th, 2011 meeting, at 10:00a.m. at the Reynolds Building in downtown Pine Bluff. This meeting will be held in the Red Cross Room. The meeting should last approximately 1 hour.
Tonight I met at Edgewood School Caferteria with the Neighbor Watch meeting, concerns are different all over, some are concerned about elders medications, single parents, GED, teenage pregnancy, alcohol and drugs, transportation, recreation, and crime. Moral support or emotional support are big issues. Peer pressure in the schools.
