The Waterville Community Connections board met at 10:00 a.m. on Aug. 8, at the Cummiskey Law office in Waterville. Members present were Cindy Kennedy, Dave Cummiskey, Lynne Coleman, Beverly Nelson-Brown, Diane Munson and Karen Bauer.
Jennifer Nelson from SMIF also attended.
Jennifer advised us on how we could organize a Community Resource Forum. She and other people from SMIF will provide facilitation and “asset mapping” at the forum. This will identify the community’s assets and providers, so they, the providers, can see what other providers are doing in the community, in order to determine needs and overlaps of services. The WCC and Jennifer tentatively scheduled Oct. 4, 2011 for the forum, and the Waterville Community Connections board will plan the event and invite service providers to the forum.
After Jennifer left, the board made some plans for the event.
Dave will call Gilligan’s to reserve space for the event. Time for the event was decided, 4 p.m. to 6:30, with 30 min. for registration and refreshments.
Diane Munson, with the help of other members, composed a letter to be sent as an invitation to the providers. She will fine tune it and email to the others for revisions, suggestions and approval. She and Lynne will develop a database to record names of invitees and RSVPs.
Suggestions were made as to who should be invited, and the Waterville Area Volunteer Directory, developed by the Waterville Community Connections, was used as a source for many of the names, and there were other suggestions of names from the board. A representative of each organization or provider will be invited.
Cindy will keep contact with Jennifer in regard to times, location, etc.
RSVPs should be sent, via email or phone, to Cindy.
The board would like to develop a brochure about WCC to be handed to participants.
An evaluation form would be given out also.
The board will meet here again Sep. 12 to finalize the plans.
In other business, a motion was made by Cindy and seconded by Diane, to approve the submission of SMIF Community Foundation Partnership Grants. Grants will be submitted for Entrepreneur Development by Kimberly Gossen, and Early Childhood Development by Lynne Coleman. Motion approved.

The Waterville Community Connections board met at 10:00 a.m. on Sept.12, at the Cummiskey Law office in Waterville. Members present were Cindy Kennedy, Jane Cummiskey, Dave Cummiskey, Lynne Coleman, Diane Munson and Karen Bauer.
There was discussion about the Community Resource Forum scheduled for Oct. 4, 4-6:30 at Gilligan’s. Diane will send the invitation and information letters out by Sept. 15. RSVP’s are requested by Sept. 27th. We will send out email reminders to those who do not respond. There are about 40 to 50 participants invited including the WCC board.
Cindy will talk to Jennifer about the agenda, and it was suggested we should have a brochure about WCC and nametags for participants. We should also have an evaluation form that could be filled out at the forum. Lynne will be handling the brochure, statistics and data. Possibly have snacks and small gifts on the tables, Karen would handle this, as well as setting up a photo display.
The Friends of the Library made a $500.00 donation to the Waterville Library for the purchase of books and materials. The library will decide what’s needed and bill us.
Adjournment by concensus.
