But people are isolated, busy, and find it scary or hard to connect with their neighbors. Bill Traynor of Lawrence CommunityWorks and Frankie Blackburn, former Executive Director of IMPACT Silver Spring in Maryland, will offer a workshop on strategies for “neighboring” in the 21st century. Learn to create great environments for building trust, stimulating conversation, fostering mutual support, and taking action at the local level.
