Story & Experience
We had our public community GEX yesterday “Recovering Together: where we are 1 year after the historic flood of 2017.” It went well. The event was in keeping with community traditions of gathering together, with food and booths that addressed the topic of flood recovery and environmental awareness. We created beauty by posting notes on the Mural of Hope that was created last year in the GEX 2017. The notes stated hopes for the future. Because of the way the event was framed and work done in the past year, many people who are influential in the community showed up. I had an opportunity to speak to them about hopes and concerns regarding the continued flood recovery with respect to the environmental impact of both the flood and recovery efforts. Overall, it was a positive event that promoted community unity and communication, and offered a connecting point for many different perspectives.
