Thanks Harv for your thoughts and experience on this program. We are
getting excited about the possibilities this program/information could
have for our Estacada.<br>
<br>
It was my UNDERSTANDING that Vince's visit was due to our affiliation
with Ford Family. This MAY NOT be true. I'm a girl always willing to
ask the question, so if other main streets were interested they can
always contact Vince and ASK.<br>
<br>
As Harv mentioned, you can always go to the website and see what you
can find. I believe as Harv said, Vince just helps accessing
information a tad easier:

<br>
This data information is supposed to be QUITE COMPLETE, and more than
just "census stuff." I can't wait for the class on the 5th.<br>

Very interesting that you are doing this. We just did this with our
Bandon Main Street program (Greater Bandon Association) on July 16th. I
have had occasion to interact and work with Vince in the past as a Ford
Community Fellow.<br>
<br>
Our workshop was well attended and evaluation summaries scored it very
highly. I ran into a shop owner on Monday who told me she continues to
go to the system for data profiling our community.<br>
<br>
Rather than just attend the workshop, I would encourage all communities
to contact Vince directly and ask him to come to do a workshop in your
community. There is no cost and Vince comes gladly. He sees it as part
of his "job duties" and travels the State.<br>
<br>
This is something that you can do as a Main Street program that will
have the community extolling the virtues of your program. In Bandon, we
attracted businesses, non-profits and government staff because everyone
needs community profile data for many different reasons.<br>
<br>
Frankly, you don't even need the workshop as you can get on the
internet, sign into the system and extract the data you are looking
for. But, Vince makes it interesting, shows all the nuances, explains
the pitfalls.<br>
<br>
Again, I would encourage all of you who have not to bring Vince in.

<p class="ecxDefault"><span

information below was in the Estacada Main Street August Newsletter.
Sheri Stuart thought you all might be interested and asked me to
forward you the information. This "class" will be "focused" on
Estacada, however, I ASSUME if you are interested, you'll learn the
skills to navigate to the information about your own community.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="ecxDefault"><span
style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; color: windowtext; font-size: 14pt;">It's
a BEAUTIFUL drive to Estacada, if you should choose to join us for this
interesting class on Thursday morning September 5.<br>

we're having -- it's fleeting......<br>
