So, here we are, 3 months have passed since my last “monthly” newsletter.  In my defense things have been anything but boring.  Between getting the particulars of a completely new lifestyle figured out, making a graceful exit from my job, my recent election to the local Democratic club executive  board and keeping up with the events of the day creativity has taken a back seat.  

That said there are a few projects I want to get going in the near future:  The first is Kinship Urban Gardens and Vegetable Exchange.  I also am excited to get KV Voices, a community sing-a-long /jam session put together.   Then there’s  KV-V2, a program to promote volunteerism in our community.  Finally, I’m looking at possibly getting a language/cultural exchange club set up under KV.  Details and progress reports posted on our website, www.kinshipvillage.org I have a few other ideas but these are the four programs that folks seem to be most interested in.  Community feedback directs where I focus my energy so please let me know what you think!

The challenges are time, again if any of these programs strike a chord with you please reach out.   The other is funds.  Unfortunately nothing is free, even when you’re trying to do good.  Please consider visiting our donation page at www.kinshipvillage.org/donate.   All donations are tax deductible and much appreciated.  Also, if you know anybody that might be interested in what we're doing please feel free to pass this along!
