<p class="MsoNormal">I will be on the road next week in Wallowa County and will have limited access to email. I will do my best to respond as soon as I can to info requests. I do plan on hosting the Mornings on Main on Thursday. We will have some folks from

<p class="MsoNormal">Below are links to some of the material I referenced in the volunteer training from the Network meeting for the Performing MS and Transforming DT level communities. Attached is a copy of the PPT slides. I also added the links to the StoryCorps
videos we viewed and the prompt questions in case you want to do a similar exercise with your board as a kind of mini-team building exercise (or you might find a video that resonates with you on
<a href="http://www.storycorps.org">www.storycorps.org</a> – if so, please share!).
