Seeds of Hope 2011

We've been so busy doing so much and now it's time to resurrect the Seeds of Hope events - springtime is good for that!

So far our format has been having Seeds of Hope events in community gardens.  We feel that these were good for outreach and lots of fun will continue to do them in gardens.  Meanwhile we are expanding our efforts this year to bring Seeds of Hope parties  into Community Centers and organizations that serve seniors and persons with disabilities throughout San Francisco - and next year into Neighborhood Associations. 

It is our goal to develop partnerships throughout the city working with these groups: partnerships that will ultimately benefit all parties involved and will include exchanges of resources and ideas, development of stronger,empowered community members that can effectively advocate with strength and decision on behalf of those issues which are important to them and others in the same position.

Seeds of Hope Parties will happen on afternoons and last about 1.5-2 hours as determined by participants.
We will picnic and discuss the CLC Seeds of Hope project and talk about issues that community people feel are important to them. We can decide what is the best way to work together as partners to  achieve our goals and accomplish our missions.

Finally, we will plant and/or distribute Seeds of Hope for people to pass on to each other, put in their own windows or gardens, and ultimately bloom in the minds of people throughout San Francisco.
