Community dynamics- (75-90 min)
How to work within a pre-existing community and create a
successful organization. Sometimes the current groups in the area just
don't cover everything. Sometimes there is too much of one thing and not
enough of another. How can an individual or small group integrate into the
current community and flourish? What does it take to interact, communicate
and cooperate with the existing leadership? Can it be done? Does it matter?
In this round-table class, we address these questions and more with current

opinions and answers.
