To all citizens interested in Imagine Columbia’s Future:

On behalf of Vision Committee Co-Chairs M. Dianne Drainer and Jeffrey Williams, I’m sending this reminder and invitation to next week’s BIG Meetings.  Four hundred people took part in the Visioning Forum held last May, and we hope to see at least that many of you at the BIG Meetings!  You are welcome to attend the one that’s most convenient for you.

If you intend to be part of a Citizens Topic Group, you are strongly encouraged to attend a BIG Meeting.  This will give you a leg-up when those groups get started in January 2007.

BIG Meeting #1 - Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2006
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Kimball Ballroom, Lela Raney Wood Hall
Stephens College - 6 N. College Avenue

Big Meeting #2 - Thursday, Nov. 30, 2006
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Performing Arts Center, Rock Bridge High School

Need transportation?  Call 874-7214 to make arrangements.  See attachment for more information.


Several outreach items are attached.  Feel free to use them for yourself and to share them widely with others:  a BIG Meeting flier; transportation schedules; and a sample email message you can use to invite others.

Please let me know if you need printed copies of the flier.  We have about 2,000 left, and I can leave them for you at the front desk in the Daniel Boone Building lobby.

I hope to see you at one of the BIG Meetings.  Have a great weekend, and get ready for a great experience!
