juicy convening questions

[Zelle Nelson]

Hi Christine,

Out of an short (3 hour) OS following a speech given by presidential  
hopeful Col. Robert Bowman in the summer of 2004, the Kindness  
Campaign - www.thekindnesscampaign.org was created and has been  
sustained to the present in Asheville, NC. I don't have the actual  
invitation - Gayatri Erlandson (Lee) created the actual invitation,  
but I will include a summary of topics created from this OS if that  
helps.

Gayatri - do you still have the invitation?

Sounds like a great project!

with grace and love,

Zelle
