We heard from Barb Dacy with the Washington County Community Development Agency (CDA). She explained that CDA works in partnership with communities in Washington County to introduce affordable housing. While the economy has been improving over the years, the county still lacks housing that county employees, seniors, and families with children are able to afford. The county conducted a survey that estimates that between 2016 and 2030, the number of new households targeted for general occupancy under the age of 65 will grow by 13,550 households.
Please join us for the Better Angels Skills Workshop to:
Learn skills to have respectful conversations with people who disagree with you.
Clarify differences
Search for common ground
Deal with the stress among family members and friends whose view differ from yours
The Better Angels Skills Workshop will help you learn how to disagree without being disagreeable. After a presentation, you will have an opportunity to practice conversation skills. You will practice in a pair with someone with a similar viewpoint.
As you know, Rotary is a neutral, non-political organization and does not endorse parties or candidates. We believe life – and our clubs- are richer with diversity of thought, culture, and yes… political leanings.
We respect the goals of Better Angels as an agent to help citizens practice listening, empathy, and appreciation for those who we disagree with.
Hope to see you on October 18th!
