Communicating Beyond Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus

      In addition to males and females having unique communication requirements it is now recognized that each generation has a preferred “communication package style”.  By being informed and sensitive to what makes each generation unique, people of all ages can more effectively contribute as they work happily side by side to accomplish their common goals.  

     On Thursday April 17^th beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Kendrick Senior Center, the Kendrick-Juliaetta and the 7 Ridges community is invited to a free meal, a training session titled “Bridging the Generational Gap” which will then be followed by community sharing and planning time. Multiple levels of communication will occur in this fast paced two and a half hour block of time.

    Mauri Knott, a University of Idaho 4-H Program Coordinator will present at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 17th a dynamic one hour “family friendly” informational training titled “Bridging the Generational Gap”.  In addition to exposing the generational communication styles, Mauri will share what drives each generation to succeed and how all the generations can effectively share their rich mixture of skills and experiences. One can daily use the relevant information that will be presented.

    This session’s format and new partnership between A.C.T.I.O. N. and the Kendrick-Juliaetta & 7 Ridges Live Newsletter group has come out of the re-scheduled mid-March day-long Saturday session. The Third Thursday of each month will continue to be the time to attend diverse community-wide trainings which will be sandwiched between a meal ( 5:30 – 6:00 p.m.) and the Live Newsletter organization sharing time and Horizon’s committee breakout group meetings (7:00 – 8:00 p.m.).    All events are free at this time because of contributions from the Latah County Youth Advocacy Council and Horizons.  For more information, suggestions for speakers or topics and child care options, contact Polly Taylor Dennler at 276-4302 or Chris Kowrach at 289-4799.

Pug Marks CSI is having its kick-off event on Monday, March 10, 2008 at the Kendrick High School Cafeteria.

There will be a chili feed starting at 6:30pm with an informational meeting starting at 7:00pm. The chili feed is free, but donations will be accepted and ear-marked for t-shirts for dedicated youth volunteers.

Dakoda White and Dylan Curry will be providing music from 6:30-7:00pm.

There is no cost to joining Pug Marks, yet there are many benefits gained by being an active member. Come find out more about Pug Marks Community Service Incorporated. We will have youth, family, and adult applications for membership available. You will also have an opportunity to sign up to volunteer for one of our upcoming service projects and learn about some others that are coming up later this spring. Ideas for service projects are always welcome; just drop suggestions in the “suggestion box” which will be available Monday.

Josi Kahukulani McConnell-Soong will give a presentation about her trip to China. Josi traveled with a People to People Student Ambassador group of 36 students and 4 adults in July 2007. She will share some of her pictures, memories, and some of the items she brought back.

A short report will be given by each of our Action Teams after Josi’s presentation.

Our monthly Live Newsletter is held on the third Thursday of the month at the Senior Center from 6:00-8:00pm. It is a place to keep up on what is happening in our community. It also serves as an opportunity to work on some of the needs we have. It is a great communication resource. Everyone is invited.

It was an absolutely wonderful evening at the Kendrick Junior/Senior High School tonight! The community came out in numbers that thrilled all of us that have been working toward this event. The Vision Statement that was developed is definitely one worth working toward.

Hope to see many of you at the Vision Launch Thursday, Oct. 25 at the Senior Center. The time of the launch is from 6-8pm. A light dinner will be served

Thank you to all who took time from their busy lives to show your love and concern for our Kendrick-Juliaetta and 7 Ridges community.

Milage re-embursement will be available to those who need it in order to attend the launch and action team meetings. More information on this will be available at the launch.
