Kaleo Post Retreat 2018: Part 3 - What Shall We Build Next?
On Saturday evening at the retreat we asked ourselves, "What are some of the needs we have as a community?" And here's a list of what we came up with. Some of these need more thought and definition but they all point to real needs in our community that we are discerning together. If you are interested in serving at The Table and have not yet found that place to serve, consider the following as an invitation. Contact Andy if you'd like to think out loud together about these or other possibilities.
Community Connectors (Peninsula)
Community Connectors - people who love meeting new faces and having conversations with new people and learning about who they are and what they care about. These people are natural networkers, connecting people of common interests, experience and passions. They love nothing better than a good conversation.
Visibility & Connections (Peninsula)
Visibility/Good news-tellers - these folks are good advertisers and spokespeople. They get excited about something new and love to tell people about it. They’ve found a good thing and they want to share it with others!
Point person for Potential Musicians
Connect potential musicians at The Table with existing music teams. Be proactive in creating a culture that welcomes new musicians and integrates them into The Table’s music scene. This requires a good working relationship with existing Table music leaders and some experience with music.
