Hi Bill, I have two workshops coming up, one mini mini (90 minutes) with a Junior High youth group at St. Bernard's Church in White Plains (May 9, 7:00 - 8:30 pm), and one just in the thinking-about stage for the last Friday and Saturday in June

Turtle, Gregg, Bill of the Council and guest, Quinton Cross, met on Sunday, 13 April, from 7:10 to 7:45pm on Google Hangouts. With so few of our group represented, we simply reported and filled in Quinton on purpose and plans for AVP in the Tricorner area, including Hudson NY. He is a local activist and a friend of Jalal, Brooke and Gregg.
Please post your comments below, so that we can reach a consensus on how to proceed. On Tuesday afternoon, 15 April, eleven participants from the Railroad Street Youth Project attended an Alternatives to Violence Project "Introductory Workshop" to get an feeling for AVP's workshop process. Gregg Osofsky and LJ Amsterdam facilitated the workshop (as Apprentice Facilitators). Bill Leicht subbed for Laurie Scott, as Lead Facilitator, because she was not available. Although nearly half the participants had to leave earlier than the planned 2½ hours, RSYP felt that AVP offered exactly what they had hoped for and asked the Peace Council to schedule a full Basic Workshop in June.

Sarika's Doodle Poll showed all six responders agreeing on Sunday, 13 April, 7:30 to 8:30pm as a good, open date for our first meeting. Make sure you've signed up for Google+ and RSVP (on your invitation email) to Bill. We want to see you!
Will Syldor, Coordinator, RR St. Youth Project, called on Thursday to let us know that they have agreed on 15 April, 4:30-7:30p for their AVP Introductory workshop. Laurie will form the team and lead the facilitation. The participants will be youth from 14-25 from the Tricorner area and Great Barrington. RR Street plans to serve pizza and (non-sugary) beverages. Please email Laurie for more information on the agenda and the team.
Will Syldor, Americorps Volunteer, at Railroad Street Youth Project (RSYP), plus two youth representatives, Kaylyn and Sarah, met with Gregg and Bill yesterday. We agreed to have an AVP Intro late afternoon on a Tuesday (8th or 15th) in April. This will be a prelude to a full series of workshops in the next few months leading a cadre of young Facilitators. Luminous Laurie Scott has said she's willing and eager to lead. Interested in joining the team? Email Laurie ASAP!
