KTN Meeting Notes: April 9, 2026
The KTN meeting on April 9, 2026, focussed on planning an open house event about services to seniors. We want to build a community-driven event that begins with listening (survey), centers lived experience (storytelling & panels), connects resources (service providers & tables), builds relationships (partnerships), and creates long-term impact (sustainability). The core message for the event is “We are not just serving seniors—we are restoring their voice, honoring their value, and reconnecting them to the heart of the community.”
KTN Meeting Notes: March 19, 2026
The meeting on March 19 was a strong brainstorming and planning meeting focused on how Know Thy Neighbor can respond to senior concerns in a practical, collaborative way. The group identified two main directions:
1. A senior-focused open house/resource forum
2. A survey or listening process to hear directly from seniors
The conversation highlighted the need to stay focused, work within available capacity, build strong partnerships, and make sure seniors themselves help shape the work.
