House Meeting Updates

The House Meeting Leaders met last Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings to complete their trainings. Pictures can be viewed on the Mid-City CAN website (through Photo Gallery on the left) and on our Facebook page. We have a great team that is excited and dedicated to informing the community of the BHC process and empowering them to participate.

Trainings for House Meeting Hosts took place on Saturday. We thank the Hosts for opening up their spaces for this process! There will be another training for people interested in being House Meeting Hosts later in the process; we will let you know when it is scheduled.

The planning process for the Building Healthy Communities Initiative is entering full swing! The 25 House Meeting Leaders were chosen last week and will attend trainings this week.
