- Mike Farrand: gives us an update from last meeting
- Jonathan: notes some other details from last week
- David: suggests that people put their phone on vibrate for this meeting to help keep the focus
- Philip: wonders about other details like this – how do we create rules like this, if people are in the room and obviously not be paying attention, how do we treat this person in the meeting or not
- Heather: suggests we do a volleyball workshop
- Kris: if there is some discussion that doesn’t have to do with the meeting, maybe this should be taken to another room to help keep meeting focus
- Teig: wonders about what this group and what we can do as far as setting policy – the board will come up with some non-negotiables; teig would like us to talk about the policy of animals in the building
- Mike: show respect, be on our best behavior, we will get to topics eventually
- David: would like to see us move forward with ideas – such as creating a goals workshop of sorts
- Heather: if the Board votes something down, maybe we could talk to the Board about why we would really like to do it and.
- Philip: Yes, I can see that happening. Maybe the Board gives you a chance to come to a Board mtg after that to discuss it for the OCP.
- David: OCP wants to be a subculture of Harrisonburg. I decided I wanted to be part of “main street” instead of part of OCP’s small little subculture. You can’t be an island without the greater Harrisonburg.
- Heather: We’re not trying to be a subculture. I wouldn’t come in; I would sit outside. Now I come inside and volunteer. We’re trying to do something good here and all of Harrisonburg is welcome to be involved. We can have jobs and can be involved in this. I have 2 daughters and I would welcome them to come here.
- Kris: wants to include more people to grow ocp
- Rebecca: someone who has a need can get help with this need – likes this being something that ocp does – matching up a giver with a need
- Sadie: likes rebecca’s ideas but says that some people wish that ocp didn’t exist – some people will give you money to get you to go away;
- Teig: wonders about the workshop with community helping organizations – groups offered to pay for people’s rides – was this the jobs resources fair
- David: goals workshop – a lot of people might tell you to your face that they like ocp, but really they don’t think highly of ocp; some working people feel like ocp is an eyesore; people is david’s family ask why people come down here – he says that he likes it and comes to see other family here
- Heather: people don’t like to see panhandling, it can be an eyesore, people who do it don’t even like it; everyone has needed something in their lives; heather would give up time to help do a fundraiser for ocp – we could have more – they are fun for the people who come and fun for the people who help put them on; there would be more volunteers who would want to do more
- Jonathan: reminds us the first three years were crazy and we are getting better
- Heather: first impression of OCP was not that great – feels like it has gotten better
- Sadie: first impressions are very important; Sadie had no desire to come here the first time – the Lord told her that she had to come in;
- Heather: likes to come here to help for something to do – like a second home;
Programming ideas:
volleyball workshop (Heather Kilburn), goal workshop (David Meyers)
