Don't miss the November Community Conversation where a "Signature Event" for Battlement Mesa - Parachute will be explored and discussed.

Community Conversation, a group of Battlement Mesa and Parachute residents, meets on the second Wednesday of each month to converse about a single subject that could enhance the community and to develop plans to bring these ideas to fruition. All members of the community are invited to attend and participate. The meetings are held in the Parachute Branch of the GarCo Library, 244 Grand Valley Way, Parachute at 7 PM.

The December 2012 Community Conversation topic will be "Economic Activities."

Don't miss "Community Conversations" tonight.  7 PM, GarCo Branch Library in Parachute. 

Here is your chance to share your views, argue your point or just discuss Battlement Mesa and Parachute issues that interest or concern you.

The new Community Conversations are like the previuos Community Coffee events to the extent that residents will have an opportunity to interact, participate and ask questions, but there is a critical difference.  Community Conversations is a forum where the participants - alone - will decide what they want to talk about and what they like or don't like, then will formulate a plan or strategy to do something about whatever it is that they like or don't like, provided a consensus can be reached.  

The kick-off Community Conversations will be held in the Community Room at the Garfield County Library in Parachute on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 7 PM.

Long time resident and community leader, Lynn Shore will moderate the discussions and all topics are welcome.  At the initial meeting, attendees will identify at least 12 topics of interest which will be scheduled for discussion at the upcoming monthly Community Conversations. 

All area residents are encouraged to attend.
