Hi Everyone, 

I've got exciting news. Community Weaving reached a milestone and we
wanted to share the good news. We are able to publish a Village Resource
Directory with a push of a button in our reporting capabilities on the FSN
website. The Village Resource Directory is generated based on a Group ID
or geographical location (City, County, Zip, State) with the new FSN
technology developed by Max Stalnaker, our VolunteerMatch volunteer. What
this means is we can build and bridge social capital and map assets of
Good Neighbors (volunteers) in schools, churches, businesses,
organizations, agencies, neighborhoods...you name it - individually or
collectively and tally the results! It's taken 13 years to get here and on
06/06/06 we finally did it! This takes asset-mapping to a whole new level!
I can hardly wait to show you. 

Community Weaving was presented to a group of corporate execs and social
entrepreneurs in Detroit two weeks ago. They recognized the various
applications of this new directory. What emerged from this gathering is
extraordinary. We welcome you to take a tour. Just email me and one of our
Master Weavers in your region will contact you and show you how simple it
is to pool and map assets and engage citizens in ways that create thriving
communities.  

Our time has come! Share the good news with others and encourage them to
explore the [ http://www.familynetwork.org ]www.familynetwork.org website.
Invite them to register as a Good Neighbor. It's free and there is no
obligation, just opportunities for connecting to a grassroots community
that cares and shares resources to create a more caring, just and civil
society. 

Take a moment to check out the list of upcoming Community Weaving
trainings listed on the [ http://www.familynetwork.org
]www.familynetwork.org website. You can either attend a training or host a
Community Weaving certification training in your community.  We have a CW
training in Seattle June 28-30th. I've attached a flyer for you to pass
along to your friends and colleagues.

This is a large step and there is a lot more in store. Let me know if
you'd like to receive a sample Village Resource Directory.  

In the spirit of community,
