Some themes that arose at our June 5th meeting:
- The need to sort through the organizational piece with the Charter for Compassion website guide https://www.charterforcompassion.org/communities/charter-tool-box-framework For those with organizational skills please come with a framework for us to work with.
- Rochester is program rich and perhaps our compassion initiative can be a force to unify good work being done for the many responses to suffering in our community. We do not need to create a new program. Al Lun's http://dmcbeam.org can be built upon.
- Should we approach the city to create a Compassion Commission so the message is not just coming from the Mayor but embedded within the city structure?
Each person suggest 5 people you would like to invite into the work to give influence, input, creative force....
- We can choose an initial focus, create a "dream for compassion in our community". What came up:
Children - elementary and use the arts for expression; a project in 2018 following the Locks of Compassion blast this summer responding to refugees. Paula Smith?
The Key Club in the schools; other suggestions?
The schools - interest in knowing more about the "From Cradle to Career" program, can we be a part of this? - RCTC's Compassion curriculum with Steve Juenemann; using Dr. Amit Sood's SMART training with teachers, school staff. Jean Marvin of the Rochester School Board has offered to be our portal into RPS.
Nurses training because of the increased need for nurses in our health care system
