Invitation to the Sangha Meeting on January 14

As many of you know, KCC is currently engaged in a process of strategic planning. We find ourselves confronted with a number of challenges and opportunities as we work to enhance our urban center and prepare for long retreat at SCOL. As we build a long-range strategy for KCC as a whole, it is critical that we have input and feedback from sangha members throughout the process. We will be sending regular information about how the strategic plan is developing and also inquiring regularly for your thoughts and insight.

The first major event on the calender arrives Saturday, January 14 when we'll host a meeting to assess KCC's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats/Challenges (SWOT). Please plan to come if you're available.

Date: Saturday, January 14
Time: 10 am to 2:30 pm
Location: Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple social hall, 6401 NE 10th Ave (map)
Refreshment: Pizza!

This isn't a courtesy meeting--it is genuinely important that there are as many voices from the sangha as possible in the room. We will send out more information about how the process works and give you some information to begin thinking about the meeting.

In the meantime, we'd also like to ask you to reflect on KCC's mission and vision. The mission and vision have been the guiding lights for KCC for the last twelve years in all aspects of our work. Throughout this planning process, we'll be checking in regularly to make sure our strategy is in accord with the mission and to see how the vision may be refined.

Look for another message in the next couple weeks with more information about the meeting itself. Thanks so much--and plan to come on January 14.
