The first Humeston Directory received a positive response from community members. Private citizens donated funds to have additional copies printed. The Horizons Board has agreed to provide $500 for the cost of updating and including more contact information in a new edition. The directory will include names of individuals who volunteer to help community members with various needs.
When Humeston Horizons held community visioning meetings, the diversity of project ideas was only slightly less than the diversity of people participating. As each circle discussed what the future of the community should hold, action groups were formed to discuss–
Each group developed their own plan of action, and it was interesting to observe the interaction of ideas among all ages and every economic status.
Due to the December ice storms and resulting power outages, some of the groups’ follow-up planning meetings had to be put on hold.
While we realize that not all of the programs can be fully completed, we look forward to working with new acquaintances on new and exciting projects.
