Good Morning,
I just got the following email from YES! Magazine. It's a publication
that a colleague of mine helped to start and I thought this edition might spark
some great ideas for folks in AP.
Peace, Jim Keady
Dear Reader,
Have you ever seen a favorite place give way to a shopping mall or a neighborhood coffee shop get boarded up? Outside our cities, great places are turning into sprawl, while inside cities, poor neighborhoods suffer from abandoned buildings and lots. The summer issue of YES! magazine "What Makes a Great Place?" http://www.yesmagazine.org tells how people are changing this around. Some communities are installing green roofs, urban farms, and 6-story high murals. Others are building community where it didn't exist -- by making connections and sharing resources. If you want to explore this topic with friends and neighbors, check out the *Web-Only* discussion guide at http://www.yesmagazine.org/discuss34.htm or watch a film from the Film Connection http://www.thefilmconnection.org/programinfo.asp?id=45. And if you're looking for gifts this spring -- check out our Dads, Grads, and Newlyweds gift subscription offer below.
