As most of you probably know, JoAnn Brown-Sonder has been hospitalized since March 7 for congestive heart failure. (Baby Archer is doing fine). The doctors say this is extremely rare at her young age. She has responded well to the medication (her heart is now pumping at 25% instead of 12% - although it is supposed to be at 55% as I understand it) and they are now allowing her to walk around the hallways, whereas before she was only allowed to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. JoAnn is scheduled for surgery Thursday morning (March 20) for the doctors to put in a defibulator. I do not know how much longer she will be in the hospital. Needless to say, expenses are piling up for the family, due in part to the high price of gasoline.

I just wanted to update everyone and let you know I have since found a wonderful sitter for my boys. She is truly a blessing to us!

It is people - you - me - our employers - our employees - our neighbors - EVERYONE.

Building social capital is building our human networks and making connections. It is an important part of having a healthy community. Several of us attended a recent workshop on this topic and left with a driving desire to spread out and make sure that we have the networks in our communities to help everyone feel welcome and be successful in life. One idea that we discussed at length was putting together information that could be given to newcomers and long time residents so that everyone knows what is available in our communities. This information is vital in developing these networks, yet is something that we do not have. At least not yet!

The Communication and Leadership team will be having their next meeting on January 10th from 11:00 am to 11:30 am at the High School Library. We have a short time but plan to get a lot done. We have set our goals and plan to hit the ground running.

The Idaho Horizons Summit will be an exciting and interactive opportunity to connect our Horizons community with potential partners. We hope that the partnerships made during this summit will provide us with valuable resources for completing our action items, as well as offer partners the chance to develop and expand upon their services to rural Idaho communities.

We will have a 15 min. time slot to present our community’s goals, vision, and action items to tell the partnering organizations what they can do to help our community. Everyone will have the chance to speak one-on-one with partnering organizations after the presentations, during the networking sessions. This will be a valuable time for solidifying contact information and compiling resources.

All community members are invited to attend the full day.
Worley, ID January 23rd Coeur d’Alene Tribal Longhouse
9am-3pm, with lunch provided.

Please call Laura at 686-1716, or email her at laural@uidaho.edu,  if you plan to attend. She will need to have a headcount of attendees by the 15th of January.

The Action Teams all presented their work plans verbally at the Community Breakfast November 29th. Complete work plans are available as separate pages to the right.

Life Long Learning will be focusing on building and strengthening educational programs for all ages, increasing the proportion of graduates from the High School, defining a process for identifying factors that contribute to dropping out of school, establishing a career program with job sahdowing, internship and visitation experiences for high school students to explore the many career opportunities in the communities, passage of bonds for the construction of a new school and library, and providing a continuous learning clearing house through establishing connections with local universities, community and technical colleges and through establishing a format for visiting speakers. Basically, they would like to increase level of optimism and appreciation within the local communities through involvement in educational activities.

Communication and Leadership will be working to improve communications by promoting the blog as a useful informational tool, hosting informal gatherings for leaders to build relationships, exploring options for a formal leadership group that would encompass all of the entities, starting a cooperative project of a non-controversial nature to foster working together, and trying to determine the most effective way to provide communication. They hope to have an impact on reducing poverty by building strong community leaders who make more efficient use of resources through cooperative efforts.
