Post-Meeting

I am glad to have been able to participate in the nonprofit organizations meeting held on Wednesday. To be to able to learn more about these different organizations in the Cape Ann area and listen to their ideas and perceptions was invaluable to the thesis of my SCORE project. There were some members who spoke out aloud, tossing out ideas and potential projects, adding a touch of humor to their dialogue. There were those who preferred to remain silent and passively listen, occasionally speaking up for a instance to give out an idea. The atmosphere remained positive and optimistic, with few to none disagreements or arguments. The mutual feeling at the end of the meeting was that much had been accomplished. Perhaps I've mentioned this before, but it was unanimously decided that such these nonprofit meetings would be held "quarterly", that is, twice a month.

At the end of the meeting, I took some me some brochures that had been handed out, as well as copy of the meeting's schedule. The brochures were from some of the organizations present at the meetings. I believe that these could be very useful for my project. They would be a good source of citation, if I wish to use one of these organizations as an example of the typical nonprofit.

This week, I may be able to attend another seARTs meeting. There are, to my knowledge, two meetings, one on Monday, the other the next day, which I can participate in with my Dad, who as president of seARTS, will be attending.
