VPPR Collaboration Call Friday, August 27

Due to popular request, we are moving the PRO Call to the Fourth Friday of the month at 12:00 PM noon for the time being to see how well that works.

The District's Public Relations Officer, Mike Kerr, hosts a series of monthly calls to highlight items the District wants to get the word out about, and also to provide a collaborative forum to share ideas, obstacles, and ways to overcome them between our VPPRs. I believe this is such a valuable forum that as this year's PRO, I've opted to continue with them. The calls are scheduled to last for one hour and are voluntary.  All calls are recorded for later playback in case you were unable to attend.

Call-in information is emailed, as well as posted to our VPPR Collaboration Blog site, which you are encouraged to register to, or at least check back every week or two. If you have an RSS reader or use a mail program with an RSS feature, you can subscribe to it. I will be posting information pertinent to VPPRs on that site until we have an effective way of communicating this on our district site.
