At our November meeting, Promise Foundation members welcomed a new family to the group as participants in our oral history project, Patchwork Promises.
The immediate connections, and common need to "tell the story", were obvious. For me, it was also clear validation that we are on the right track with our plans for an oral history project.
The next, and very important, step in the process will be submission of our application for a mini-grant from the Ohio Humanities Council. The next "formal" meeting of the group is scheduled for Saturday, January 8, 2011. Same time, same place.
In addition, if possible given holiday scheduals, a meeting of the project committee will be attempted in December to discuss the proposal and review the grant requirements.
We should also discuss how to maintain and operate this "blog spot" to best meet our needs and project objectives. Any suggestions, directions, comments, ideas, etc. will be most welcome.
