*Next meeting:*

Allison will give training from her workshop on the 29th at the next All
Americorps meeting: Project on Civic Reflection.

Americorps members, people who participate in community-based service work.
Idea is to have a conversation about the meaning of service, shared values,
etc. Conversation is anchored around poem or story.

We will use the whole hour to do something like that on the 29th.
